Apologies if asked before - are there plans to save any ? -
Thinking of 5585 - the replacement for the West Ham bombing one (IRA days) and I think the first painted unit in blue and grey. ?

None that we know of at the moment, and 5585 is no longer with LU.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the C08 sets would be among the last to go. What's changed?
There's also been suggestions of a couple of farewell tours - one a proper tour of places they didn't go to and another around their regular haunts. Any truth to this?

I can't recall ever seeing that about the C08s, the delicateness of their survival has meant they've already gone. The Tours are already mentioned in this thread: www.districtdavesforum.co.uk/thread/23336/stock-farewell-railtours |

I know where you read, as indeed did I on the "infallible" Wikipedia, it stated they'd be the last to go, but like DStock7080 said, they're gone already. |

The statement on the Wikipedia page about C stock (re a rebuilt C08 going to be saved) needed a citation... and remained needing a citation for more than a year... I always took the view that someone had made an uneducated guess and then posted, hoping that it might be right !! The longer a statement needs a citation (i.e. proof) the less accurate it is in reality !!! |

And (forgive me for going off topic) that is the main problem with Wikipedia, half the time it is used to voice hopes/opinions. I remember seeing on the 1967 Stock someone posting, "Deez r sik, 67 Stock 4 eva." And equally getting into a battle against someone who insisted that the A Stock started service in 1959, ultimately I won, and I think antje also helped me win the battle.
Back on topic, Bengley took some photos of the C Stock getting done at CF Booth, would I be right in saying that the majority of the rolling stock is going to Eastleigh in this contract?

As far as I am aware it is 50-50, but not necessarily in 50-50 order. Time will tell.

For those who haven't seen the above mentioned photos this is honestly very distressing, almost as bad as the shredded A stock photo a couple of years ago
