The final countdown. 1M55 passing Kingmoor.

            With Royal Mail having cancelled their rail contract with DB Cargo effective the 11th October the end date has shifted forward to Friday 20th September driven by the fact the remaining active class 325's are starting to drop like flies as there is now no expenditure on failures. Royal Mail intend to move all long haul mail by road and their entire fleet of class 325 EPU's are expected to go for scrap. Many are falling due an expensive C4 overhaul and some sets have corrosion issues. With Royal Mail in effect up for sale to the highest bidder their train fleet is seen as a millstone to dispose of ahead of any potential sale.
With numerous services withdrawn this week already the final week is likely to see just two return Anglo Scottish workings, those being 1M27, 1M55 & 1S27, 1S24. Here working one of those is 325 014 & 325 009 passing Kingmoor Yard at speed with 1M55 the 14.19 Shieldmuir to Daventry.
