    Why is it that when a region gets new rolling stock, Scotland always seem to get the cast-off.

      These are far superior to the new stock. New does not always mean better. GWR's loss, Scotrail's gain. People moaned about the North West getting lumbered with 319s but they have turned out to be excellent.

      Scotland is very much the winner in this case.

      For the longer distance routes Scotrail have planned for them they are ideal, far better in every way than what you have now in DMU's. If the DFT and GWR could have forseen the issues with the GW electrification I doubt the HST's would be moving anywhere.

    Other Class 43's could be cascaded to East Midlands Trains, Grand Central and Crosscountry as they could need more extra trains. Plus Grand Central could operate the Class 43 HST's on London King's Cross-Hartlepool, Sunderland and Scarborough services. As well the Class 180's that Grand Central will also keep.

      Grand Central is getting the Class 180s from Hull Trains and GWR when they have finished with them.
