GCR DMUs
 
I never realised that this place had so many DMUs most of them out of use but notice that the 127 will be ready for use as seen the last time I was there but would like to know more about when it is expected to enter service as I cannot rember when the young Gentleman I spoke to there the other week said it owuld be up and running and I assume the 101 will be comming out of use for overhall which is most needed as seems to have a few oil leaks etc.

Hi John
I believe it will be back in service by mid 2012 though not sure about the exact date. Try this link to see if it helps at all;
