This well-timed photo shows the two newly converted units being shunted from their former home within the fenced compound to the cripple siding at the top of the yard. What does this mean for the future of these units? It is thought they may already be redundant in favour of road rail vehicles...

Is the third coach from the emergency train at Sudbrook? Will all the above vehicles go on for scrap/preservation??

Word on the street says that a small fleet of 6 wheel 'gator' road rail vehicles (made by John Deere) will be used instead as they can be deployed instantly

All due to move next week - bubble cars to Long Marston for further storage and possible sale (?) other two coaches for scrap at Sims, Newport. Tank to Thompsons, Stockton.

You'll just have to run fast. Actually - as the comment says above - I believe there are several road-rail John Deere Gators locked in a little shed somewhere.
