Angel Trains
43313
Having been taken out of service by LNER in November 2019 after a collision with 08441 at Bounds Green, this power car has been transferred from Ely Papworth Sidings to Laira TMD. There had been rumours that Angel Trains had been demanding that the power car be repaired prior to it being returned so it could have moved for this purpose - more likely though, is that it will be used as a parts donor
