SCOTRAIL has taken delivery of the final refurbished HST trailers as part of its Inter7City project.
Eight trailer cars were moved from Wabtec Doncaster to Haymarket depot on February 25 behind power cars Nos. 43124 and 43148.
This will allow a start to be made on extending the relevant sets to be increased to five cars, as they have been running with four cars from introduction. The Inter7City project will utilise nine four-car and 17 five-car short sets.
A power car and three trailers were written off in last August’s Carmont derailment which claimed three lives, and although the insurance claim is ongoing, no decision on whether the written-off vehicles will be replaced has been announced.
