Anyone who's interested,

57305 should have gone for a repaint at Eastleigh however reports are FGW didn't want to let it go due to it being a lot more reliable than their 57/6s

57310 did fail on the riviera with low power but considering it hasn't had a good running in several years, a good thrashing should help really!

Does anyone know the state of play with 301, 303 and 312 all at Eastleigh for repaints?

 

Reports last week suggested either 301 or 303 was prepared for a repaint whilst 312 was dispatched from Gresty Bridge to Eastleigh a few days ago.

57305 is back with FGW

57301 believed under repair still

57303 believed to be being repainted

312 at Eastleigh for a repaint presumed next in

Hope that helps

I'm not a big fan of the 'Body snatchers', but still managed to take a few here and there:
