IOSS is the 'Import One Stop Shop\ a pan-european / EU arrangement allowing all businesses in the EU to collect VAT at the relevant NATIONAL rate, and remote all the returns as a blob to their local tax agency, who then sort it out amongst themselves. Previously you had to register for VAT in every EU state you hit the threshold in, now you can just register in Ireland, and collect and remit VAT for every EU state (customs across the EU probably have noticed our sales now charge ES TVA, or French IVA, etc)

Once the samples pop over to us, we'll do a photo shoot alongside some other mk2's , etc, to give a sense.

If anyone has any photos of the 2bs and / or 2c's we'd be happy to see them!

Always a chance of a rerun of the caged loads, but not on the immediate horizon in terms of factory capacity.

Sometimes paying close attention is very rewarding

These coaches are all mark 2b not 2d, just to be clear

The coaches are designed for very easy body removal for passenger fitting.

DO’h. Sorry misread!

All the A photos are on the website.

The A was launched on 27th October 2018, so delivery will be a shave under 3 years. Most of that was learning curve and issues on our end however, as can be seen from these coaches, and other accurascale releases, our policy for the last year has been launch with a sample which will cut down the lead time to 12-18 months at most on all new announcements. It also means we 'Put our money where our mouth is' and have concrete examples of the launch in hand, rather than the land grabs that sometimes happen, leaving customers potentially many years waiting for models.

We'd certainly hope to announce more freight stock, coaching stock and perhaps a unit before year end... with then more in the new year (all with an under 12 month delivery time)
