Pete2210 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi, Can anyone help with this, I believe that I have seen Arriva Cross Country powercars TNT a set of Midland Mainline Mk 3's on a service to Plymouth was I dreaming or has this in fact happened Many thanks Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted November 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2014 Is this recent or historic? IIRC Arriva did take some MML 125s when they came off-lease about 7 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supaned Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 unlikely - the XC power cars and trailers were refurbished at the same time to form full sets - to my knowledge , XC haven't hired in any MML stock since the early days on summer saturday workings - even hiring in a MML power car requires special managerial dispensation as they are mechanically different to the XC ones (which are MTU powered and to all intents and purposes the same as East Coast power cars) , the MML ones being Paxman VP185 powered and having a different dashboard layout (as well as one extra cock in the engine room). I stand to be corrected of course when a photo appears... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

45125 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 XC04 and XC05 ran in unbranded MML livery for a while when AXC retuned HSTs to the XC route, they also ran with the Valenta's for a few weeks until they were called in to Brush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
