Chiltern Railways sends replacement Mk 3s for storage

摘要

A rake of former Greater Anglia Mk 3s that had been destined for Chiltern Railways has instead been sent for storage at Long Marston, having never entered service. They were leased from Porterbrook to cover for CR's final slam-door Mk 3 set, which was used on Marylebone-Banbury trains. The ex-GA stock was more accessible than that it was replacing and arrived at Eastleigh Works for refurbishment and relivery last year. But having received CR's branding, the stock was instead deemed redundant.
