Origonal 800101 coaches

[Bomag]

I have read in two recent publications that some/all coaches forming the original 800101 have been renumbered and formed into GW 800/3 sets. Does anybody have a list of of the old /new numbers?

Not followed the fIeet closely but I was under the impression that the first two 800/0s had a "wrong" catering car at one end. AIUI two subsequent class 800/? units were delivered from Kasado with the "correct" catering cars for the 800/0s and a swap occurred between them. I was under the impression it was two "Eastern" 800s which brought the "correct" cars over possibly because the HRE (East) and HRE (West) Catering cars are configured differently.

It was 800001 and 800002 that received new catering cars of the correct configuration at Doncaster. Their original vehicles then went to Newton Aycliffe to be formed into 800311 and 800312, which delayed their release. The new cars took the numbers of the old ones.
