Cargo-D is adding more MkII vehicles to its operational fleet. The first tranche of MkIIs re-commissioned saw 5 such vehicles transfer to FGW to operate on their Taunton - Cardiff DBS contract.
However, they are not expected to be returned to Cargo-D for sometime, so further reactivating has taken place from the stored fleet.
Nemesis Rail is currently contracted to return BSO 9506, TSOs 5919, 5995 and 6001 to service. Currently 9506 has been completed and requires painting into blue/grey.
Other vehicles, namely 5810 and 5901 will follow suit. It is expected that one vehicle will have to be added from the current Long Marston storage pool. A vehicle from numbers 5787, 5876, 5810 or 6154 will be chosen accordingly.
MkIIe FO 3232 has also been loaned to Cargo-D from VSOE to strengthen it's MkII FO pool. Thanks go to Jonathan Rawlinson and Julian Clark from VSOE for making this happen. Nemesis Rail will also paint this vehicle from it's current Great Western colours into blue/grey livery.
Cargo-D will then be able to offer a full standard class rake to the leisure and TOC markets.
