69003 expected on a loaded test run on the Mountfield on Tuesday 8th.
Along with 59003, apparently on decision at Eastleigh, 59001 is also poorly at Merehead, having been subject to a mishap during a re-railing after a derailment on 14th December.
In April 2021 a set of Mk3 coaches, marked up for 'Chiltern by Arriva' departed on their way from Eastleigh to Long Marston. These were sold to Belmond, and moved on to Assenta Rail, Hamilton, where they have been scrapped to recover the bogies, which will be re-used on what was the broad gauge Grand Hibernian stock. This is arriving by road from Ireland, and the finished coaches are expected to be used for a project, yet to be announced, but expected to be in continental Europe.
