Remarkably, considering the age of the fleet, the oldest unit (55020) is still in daily service, whilst the youngest vehicle (55035) was the first to be dismantled. As of early April 2011, 55021 (960021) and 55030 (960013) have also been dismantled. This could change in the future, due to the former Severn Tunnel Emergency Train sets are being stripped for spares at Cardiff to keep 55032 running.

Famous quotes containing the words fleet and/or details:
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Anyone can see that to write Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the knee in the kitchen, with constant calls to cooking and other details of housework to punctuate the paragraphs, was a more difficult achievement than to write it at leisure in a quiet room.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
