Has this unit been sold, or has the sale fallen through? EWS normally stipulate removing vehicles from their property following a sale.

I would love to know, as if it becomes available again I have a sum of money and some siding space I can designate...

Back up for sale again on the latest EWS tender. I will be registering interest.

Was this 55012, recently put us for sale by EWS?
Was still at Thornaby in late 2008

It is yes. I believe it has now been sold but its a bit complicated!

Having recently arrived at Shildon, do we know of its final destination?

10 May 2009 - Ben Williams
I don't believe it is actually at Shildon - last noted at a haulage yard near Durham but no more details yet.

Didn't this go to Rail Restorations North East at Unit 8A, Hackworth Park, Shildon?

I think it is due to go there but I'm not 100% sure it has made it there yet so any confirmation would be good.

It would appear this HAS now moved to shildon - unsure of owners or it's eventual destination once restored though...

Now working at the Weardale Railway, looking fantastic in BR green.

Green? Ben won't be amused!

Glad it is not in the ghastly Loadhaul though. When I was in art lessons at school all the teachers would say that black & orange should never go together.
If one day someone will actually reapply the livery I wont mind if the number 977941 is applied at the same time seeing that this was never carried in service
