Story Contracting

Story Contracting are in the process of renumbering their ex Caledonian fleet. Interestingly they carry both new fleet number and old fleet number. Noted so far are:

1101-20, ex 20

1102-21, ex 21

1103-22, ex 22

1105-24, ex 24

1109-28, ex 28

1111-02, ex RA02

Logically there are several gaps in the sequence, ie 1104-23, 1106-25, 1107-26, 1108-27, 1110-01, 1112-03, 1113-04, 1114-05, 1115-06, 1116-07, 1117-08. As we know, logic isn't always applied when numbering things, so please keep an eye out!

Story have also taken delivery of at least two new 5m trailers from Chieftain - 010772 & 010773.

    Some more of the GW electrification factory train should have arrived recently.

    There is a recent i/net pic of 2 MPVs and 4 flats heading through northern France in this direction.
