DR73434 & DRP 78223 Were not scrapped, they were just at Ashford for planned maintenace and repairs. 73434 is still in the Network Rail contract.

It seems the scrap man has now made it to Three Bridges with 73259 already cut and presumably 73313 also next in line? Any confirmation appreciated...

A report on the Group today states DR73313 was still present this week, but interestingly DR76005 is not mentioned so this may have gone. I believe the scrapman has also dealt with the row of wagons which have been the sole permenant occupants of the yard for some years.

Not seen it put up elsewhere, but 73313 had a appointment with destiny at the start of feb 2010, by the end of the week, all that was left was a deutz engine on a pallet!
