    I've just noticed on Car services website that there are 5 class 117 vehicles for sale:

    http://www.carservicesukltd.com/carservices.htm

    These look like the ones currently in store at the Midland Railway centre, which were bought by Dorset County Council for use on the proposed Swanage to Wareham service.

    So what is going on with these? Have they given up on the idea of using class 117s for the Swanage to Wareham trains, and what do they propose using instead?

    Seems like everyone is selling their 1st gen dmu's. The Mid-Hants set is going to the GWR I believe & we have the ex Barry 115's also for sale.

    The Mid Hant's Railway class 117 unit finished today and should be moving to the GSWR soon. Next year should be an all steam service apart from the extra service run by the Class 205 unit (Hampshire unit) on special running days.
