I thought that the two that have passed to fGW were off-lease with TfL and
are now part of the "official" fGW fleet?


Not entirely sure what the arrangement is. I'm fairly sure TfL at
least briefly had all 8.

As an aside, as 2 were required for Bedford-Bletchley, does that mean
Silverlink had 100% utilisation of DMUs? *It's amazing there weren't
more cancellations if that's true.


Silverlink had 8 of them, which left two spare every day. AIUI, in
November London Midland got none, so must be using their ex-Central
Trains units for Bedford-Bletchley.
