Withdrawal
The first batch of cars was withdrawn in late 2005 due to corrosion in the underframes: these cars had low-carbon mild steel underframes instead of the stainless steel used on later batches). DMT 9204 was subsequently destroyed in an emergency services training exercise on 25 November 2008.
In January 2011 an additional 25 OSCAR cars were ordered to replace the 1977 batch of V sets, which are currently being withdrawn.

Famous quotes containing the word withdrawal:
“A separation situation is different for adults than it is for children. When we were very young children, a physical separation was interpreted as a violation of our inalienable rights....As we grew older, the withdrawal of love, whether that meant being misunderstood, mislabeled or slighted, became the separation situation we responded to.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning’s greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications.... Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
