  Correct. A situation that is not something new, and has hence been anticipated for some time.

  971001 & 3 are now apparently here - due for Bescot ultimately. Both in a new BTU set with 975471. What this means for the old BTU vehicles isn't yet clear...

  With four recovery cranes (adrc 96710/13/14/15) but only (currently)two sets of vans (gen-staff-tool 3 car sets) this "new" set will be a welcome addition however despite all the mods over the years some of the fleet date back to 1955 vintage

  Set 1 Margam (Knottingley)

  gen 975494 -1956

  staff 975573 -1955

  tool 975612-1957

  Set 2 Bescot

  gen 975611 - 1957

  staff 975574 - 1955

  tool 975613 - 1957
