Fife Circle coaches for Network Rail

On 26th August, there was a 5V22 08:55 Motherwell Tmd (Drs) to Canton Sidings , where 37716 hauled Mk2f TSO coaches 5971, 6001, 6117, 6122, 5995 and 6008 for delivery from DRS to Network Rail for test train usage. These coaches are fitted with retention tank toilets, and are expected to replace those currently hired by Network Rail from ERS.

All of these coaches were built to Lot 30860 in 1973-74. Before DRS these were in the Cargo-D fleet.
