Units 04, 08 and 16 are at Crewe IEMD
Units 03, 09 and 12 are at Warrington Arpley sidings
Units 06, 07 and 13 are at Mossend (near SDC, Shieldmuir), but the motor coaches from these units have been detached, and taken by road to the scrapyard

The six units ar PRDC were sold to an undisclosed buyer, and are presently in the process of getting re-liveried in grey.
It’s believed a condition of the sale was that all Royal Mail branding be covered over. Even the fleet numbers in RM’s own font in the driving cab windows are to be replaced.

Utilising the UK’s electric rail network for customer deliveries

For the first time in the UK, Amazon has also launched rail deliveries at scale. Products will be loaded onto train carriages on the fully electric West Coast Main Line, which runs between Scotland and the Midlands. The products are picked from stations close to local Amazon delivery and fulfilment centres – ready for sorting and packing ahead of customer deliveries. To further reduce on-road traffic, products are also transported from stations and Amazon’s wider fulfilment network to ferry ports while giving small and medium-sized UK businesses easier access to European markets.


More than 20 million products sold on Amazon are expected to travel on the UK’s electric rail network this year, avoiding traffic congestion and carbon emissions, with plans to expand across further rail routes before the end of the year.
