Has this had parts taken off to help preserve the other one?

The other two remaining on site are both privately owned, so any donated parts would have had to be bought by the respective owners. I don't know if this has happened or not

You may find 502 becomes increasingly familiar with the 50 through the summer months. I'll let you all guess why.

Is 502 SQP compliant??

Cheers Tony, I didn't know where it had come from. It's the same story with our ex Metroline and ex Abellio Tridents which have euro 2 engines, but are allowed into the city centre.

101-105 being ex Reading are the only Tridents not technically allowed on the 50
