Preservation Information 141110 was preserved and moved to the growing Weardale Railway in 2001, who were interested in acquiring reliable rolling stock for an all-year-round community service. The line received two Class 141 sets, the other being 141103. It was this latter example which was chosen to be restored and operated, with 141110 being bought as a strategic source of spare parts. In 2009, 55530 was disposed of, however 55510 was kept in store for several more years as a spares donor. In March 2018 the vehicle was extracted from store and scrapped along with the railway's main set 141103. It is not known if they were cut on site or transported to a scrapyard for final dismantling. The disposal of these three vehicles left the Weardale railway with no 2nd generation vehicles at that time. The loss of the final half of 141110 left just two Class 141 sets in preservation.
