What happened to 118?

Left Silverlink/Whoever for a career in Directory Enquiries perhaps?


It stayed on the GN lines, I think it was because unit 034 (as 134 was
around 1989-1990) was for a while a two car DC only unit and so was
restricted to the Euston - Watford Junction (and the Croxley Green
branch) line. The PTS being used in the prototype unit for the
networker technology, class 316. The loss of the PTS meant that the
unit was useless for the GN and so it was sent to the LM instead of
018.
