Class 460 Moves to Ashford
In 2012, class 460 units were moved under their own power from storage at Bournemouth and Stewarts Lane to Ashford, from where they were to be taken by lorry to Wabtec, Doncaster, for conversion to class 458/5. The photos below are the last ever workings of these units as class 460s.
