I made my way across to Preston this morning to see what was visible.

The Madrid car (Madrid 165) is out in the open and I would not be
surprised if they put the two sections together today.

Here's a pic of the car next to A 249, with City Circle 928 hanging
around in the background.

The other half of the Madrid car is right down the back of the workshops
near the test track and railway line.

You can see it is the second pic:

The W high up in the background is 964 on the test track.

Back in January, I suggested that 964 was finished - see

Today it was looking pretty good - looks like I was wrong again!

I also think that 928 is new to City Circle service - it was green and
cream before.

Mal Rowe - who should know better than to speculate.
