It seems this van does have the remains of an ID on the other side - B 851856 - which is the bodywork from the underframe that became 024818. This is the wagon that Bletchley depot presumably converted themselves into a vehicle for carrying those detergent (?) tanks (see photo on site.) Which all ties together quite well.

Still on site October 13th, however roof is now open to the elements and the two side doors are wide open and chained back.
Site is "rail locked" with no road access however removal may be possible with forthcoming Bletchley re signalling/remodelling project.
Sidings operated by London Midland who I guess now claim to be owner as part of the traincare facility.

I went to photograph this vehicle today. From areas accessible to the public, there is no real clear shot to be had. Forget the station or the adjacent public car park. The clearest photo can be obtained thus:
Leave the station and turn right and start walking along Sherwood Drive, after a few minutes there is an overgrown area of brambles. You can pick your way through these until you come to the pallisade fencing at the railway boundary. With a good zoom lens you can get some shots, however the recently installed stabling point lighting and walkways prohibit an uncluttered photograph. Perhaps best attempted during the winter months!

It surely cannot be long now before this vehicle is removed. There is lots of work taking place all around the sidings at Bletchley. Get it in before it goes :)
