This one now added here as it has been pictured (on low loader in transit) in Network Rail light blue livery. Unsure yet if this will be VIU4 or TCMU3...
14 January 2026 - Greg Hartle
Carries set VIU4

Rather than ‘Other’ shouldn’t this be categorised as ‘Test Units - Network Rail’?
20 March 2026 - Russell Withington
The other VIUs (and the TCMUs) are DMUs and TU-NR, though if retaining original number is the criterion for ‘Other’ then they’re all in all three categories - that’s excessive but true on all counts.

[Would have helped if I hadn't accidentally deleted " 'DMUs' and " from the middle of my first Comment :-( ]

Think these are now all updated.
