A summary of some recent movementsLong term residents of Norwich Crown Point 977908 and 042244 have turned up at the North Norfolk Railway - helping to solve another mystery...
Internal User wagons 042235 and 042237 formerly at Peterborough Wagon Repair depot were transported away to the Battlefield Line at Shackerstone at the end of April. 042236 has moved to the Spital Sidings away from its former home and is to be used as a stores van.
977775 and 977776 have been bought by the MRT Railcar Group and by the end of April 977775 had arrived at Butterley at the Midland Railway Centre but 977776 remained at Thornaby TMD because of problems loading it onto road vehicles. It is thought to be due at the MRC soon.
