    Currently at Rail Restorations North East, Shildon, ex Thornaby Depot. Does anyone know where this is eventually destined for?
    Cheers

    Not the Telford is it? :-k

    I was wondering what the condition inside is like. Will it need a lot of work?

    No, not Telford. I have not seen the vehicle myself but I understand it was reputedly used for a rescue exercise and also suffered at the hands of the usual gang of vandals that you find everywhere these days.

    I thought it still had asbestos as well? In which case by the time that's been removed the internals will be in a bit of a state.

    The vehicle is currently in the workshop at RRNE Shildon. Entered after the LMS BG for the G5 project left.
    Asbestos has been found in the floor and will need to be removed.
