It's a storage depot... Porterbrook Rail own the site and it has around 12 miles of track.

[@johnUB4478]

701.025 has gone down to Eastleigh

[@FM60260]

Is that a T69 remaining?

[@GWRailFan]

its a shame GWRs 769s never made it past the teething Problems, would of been great to see them running, ah well, wont be long till they become rasers XD

[@miniature-airlines]

Agree 100% , would be nice to have seen them in service

[@onnomulder9775]

Are these trains te be scraped?

[@johnUB4478]

The Blue and white ones are brand new

[@markkneafsey-nl8tv]

I actually thought they were brand new trains going for testing before they go into service

[@miniature-airlines]

The 719s were brand new. So many faults and problems mean that they still haven't entered service yet and have been stored until ironed out

[@spongatejunction]

Especially the 321s come on LSL get a couple of 321s

[@miniature-airlines]

Do you mean the 319s that are now 769s?

[@spongatejunction]

Why don't LSL take on some of these trains

[@miniature-airlines]

I don't know. Do LSL run electrics?

[@Sophiebryson510]

People should get these trains either to a heratige railway or into service! It’s disgraceful.

[@nathanaellewis1242]

Most of those trains are too long for most heritage railways, surely?

[@nathanaellewis1242]

Plus they kinda look electric. Not aware of any heritage lines with OLE? 😂

[@miniature-airlines]

The 701's have been on test for sometime. With the technology available, these should just work out of the box really!

[@miniature-airlines]

or third rail .... !

[@spongatejunction]

Why don't LSL take on some of these trains

[@miniature-airlines]

Wouldn't think they'd want third rail electrics really. I guess they'll be in service soon , fingers crossed!! Thanks for watching

[@andrewreynolds4949]

Most of these are for South West Railway, to replace much of their current fleet
