Title: CrossCountry HST heavy maintenance to transfer to Laira, Plymouth? Post by: JayMac on April 13, 2018, 19:03:25 I'm hearing on the jungle drums (well, Facebook) that Laira Traction Maintenance Depot in Plymouth has won the contract to maintain CrossCountry's fleet of HSTs. Transferring said maintenance from Edinburgh Craigentinny and Leeds Neville Hill.
Can anyone confirm? Title: Re: CrossCountry HST heavy maintenance to transfer to Laira, Plymouth?
