Mk 3s milestone as 300 scrapped, but some find new use

摘要

More than 300 former High Speed Train Mk 3s have now been scrapped, since being withdrawn from the Great Western, East Coast and Midland Main Lines following the introduction of new trains from 2017 onwards. A number of vehicles made their final journeys in March, although ten have managed to evade the scrap merchants for now. Five have moved to Scunthorpe, where they will be used by the Appleby & Frodingham Railway Society within the town's steelworks, where the group is based.
