Thanks for posting and keeping us up to date on the movement of HST power cars. Will Colas be using these eventually as back-up for the pair of their HST power cars currently at work on the Network Rail test train which can be seen regularly on circuitous routes between Paddington, South/West Wales and the Midlands?
