Not sure if this has been noted? 2479 is getting its racks removed. VOSA were in yesterday, as pasrt of this. 7615 is here, no Tax or MOT, scrap?

VOSA wouldnt be in for the rack removal as its only an accsesory that can easily be removed like the ones on 2601 amnd 2

If for scrap, would it not just have been left at St Helens where it was and taken off when the other withdrawn vehicles currently on site are removed?

It has to re MOT'd. VOSA were also in checking 3010 and 4403, wich has also came back. As for 7615, don't forgot 807 came from St Helens to get ripped up. It may not even be scrap. Just storage.

Very true but 807 went as a source of parts did it not? With a diminishing allocation of Darts, I wouldn't have thought LS would be after bits for them so much now! Storage is a possibility though; as has been mentioned before, Jackson Street is very full at the moment.

vosa would have to mot 2479 again as it would be upseated when the.rack as been moved as the capacity would be more which as to go through vosa as it would state its seating capacity on its documents.

Would it be possible that 7615 might be donating some parts to 7635, as this has been parked at the back of the depot for a number of weeks now.

I also seen 2344 this morning and it has had the light surrounds put back in.

It will need a Notifiable Alteration check from a VOSA certifying officer, not an MOT unless it's expired.
This involves checking seats have enough legroom with a tape measure and that the job has been done to a satisfactory standard.
