Rail privatisation folly. With parts of the national network suffering from severe overcrowding, numerous perfectly good trains were being put into store at Long Marston, after their ousting from GWR services by Class 800 & 802 EMUs. With sidings full of HSTs in the background, the latest addition joins the off lease vehicles at Long Marston on 3 February 2020, as the 5D94 07:17 Laira to Long Marston ECS, with 43196 nearest the camera pauses briefly on the arrival road, before heading off to join its fellows in the background. The sign in the foreground has knocked 120mph off the train's permitted speed! Note the ex-underground vehicle on the right, part of Vivarail's project to convert the obsolete units into Class 230 DMUs.
