Both 1408 & 1452 have been fetched down from the top yard at Miller Street and are being inspected to see if they can go in the training fleet. If 1452 is fit to use it will be quite a comeback after being off the road fro nearly 3 years.

9951 has also been brought down from the top yard to finish repairs needed to get that back up & running as well

I'm surprised they haven't opted for another withdrawn WA example rather than one that's been in store for as long as 1452
