    Can anyone confirm the current location of BR Pullman E315E 'Heron', ex-GCR?

    The VCT's survey shows it as being at Mid-Hants but enquiries in that direction seem to be drawing a blank.

    Thanks,
    Phil

    Hello Phil,
    Could it be one of the two at Carnforth by the old platform at the south end of the site, looks familar but cant see the side that had the name hand painted when it was at GCR.
    Could be the Numbered second class example.
    Bye,
    Malcolm Humphries.

    Malcolm,
    The other ex-GCR Mk.1 Pullman is, I believe, at Carnforth, and is a second class vehicle. E315E was first class and is at Mid-Hants, as Chris says.

    and today all four are just visable from my train from Heysham to Skipton.
