On the 12th August 2021 and after 7 1/2 years, our CEP motor coaches both left Eastleigh Works for Southall where restoration work to revert them to their original, as built condition will continue.

The Group wishes to extend its sincere thanks to all at Arlington Fleet Services who have been most supportive in assisting us in our goal of recreating a pre-refurbishment 4CEP/BEP unit and to West Coast Railways for their assistance. The vehicles were hauled to Southall by West Coast Railways Class 33, 33025 along with Motor Luggage Vans 68001 & 68002; the latter utilised for conveying CEP parts and equipment.
