The ones that Boltar refers to were three that were introduced in 2004 and were in service on the 25 and later on the RV1. All three [ESQ64991/2/3] were withdrawn from service in 2007 and went to museums, 64993 as far as I know is still in the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. ESQ64991 is allocated to the Science Museum ESQ64992 TPT Beith I don't recall seeing ESQ64993 when I visited the LT Museum last year so it may well be at Acton. -- Graeme Wall This account not read, substitute trains for rail.

Why couldn't they keep them in service? Surely the fuel cell isn't life expired after 3 years? B2003 |
