The EPB Preservation Group are focused on the restoration and preservation of third-rail electrical multiple-unit trains or EMUs. The group has recently announced a fundraiser in order to support the return of 2EPB 5759 to mainline operation.
Three overhaul bogies have now been secured for 5759 and will be swapped for the ones currently in use, whilst one current trailer bogie which is fitted to the Driving Trailer 77558 will be overhauled.
A rail movement to the group's contractor, Nemesis Rail, which is located in Burton-on-Trent has now taken place so that work can get underway.

Excellent news about 5759. Looking forward to seeing it on the main line in the near future. Sorry I can’t make a donation, but I’m retired on limited income.
