The Class 315 Preservation Society has announced that they have signed a Sales Purchase Agreement with Eversholt Rail Group and means that they will become owners of a Class 315 following its withdrawal from passenger service.
No other details can be confirmed yet, but a full statement with more information is due in the future.
This news comes after 4 years of work and a false start so this is fantastic news for the group.
David Silman, Chairman of the Class 315 Preservation Society said “After 4 years and 1 false start we are delighted to announce that the Class 315 Preservation Society have today signed the Sales Purchase Agreement with our friends at Eversholt Rail Group”
