>>1574526it wasn't a "rolling stock issue" per se, they'd planned to bring them back on a fairly long term but still temporary basis to increase capacity while they waited for new trains. (which incidentally, still haven't been delivered, presumably because the russian mafia sockpuppets have got more money they need to launder so production is being "spun out" accordingly.)
they were withdrawn fairly suddenly in march 2020 when the need for more capacity vanished overnight for (((some strange reason))).
anyway, pic related. BR blue with intercity mk2s. one for the wank bank.
