Cargo-D fleet update

Cargo-D's fleet continues to change as the business moves forward.

MkII vehicles 3366 and 5810 have been completed at Nemesis Rail and the final three MkII vehicles to be completed, 5901, 5941 and 6001 are being worked on to complete the fleet of vehicles at Barrow Hill.

Elsewhere, the Virgin Trains MkIII set is due to move from DB Schenker Crewe to Willesden to enable it to be called off as an active 'hot set' for use from London terminals, should it be needed.

Meanwhile, vehicle 11083 has moved to Barrow Hill to spend some time operating in the charter set that is currently increasing its use around the country.  Vehicles 11065, 11071, 11089 and 10588 are due to move there imminently.

11065 has recently been handed back by Chiltern Railways and 11071 and 10588 have had large exams recently completed.  Both these vehicles are to move to Barrow Hill to undergo various body works to complete them.

11089 is currently having an exam and wheelset change at LNWR. It too will move to Barrow Hill when complete.

WSMR, FGW and ATW contracts continue to operate as normal.
