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.
