In 2014, 909 was transferred from the Preston Workshops to the Newport Workshops Depot for storage. Mal Rowe photo.
682 converted from W5 in 1984.

I’ve seen this type on a couple of other routes but this is officially allocated to the 340. These SWs are the only diesel frogs in the capital and operate on a very short route.
