It needs noting that this was originally DB979402 before becoming DB979408, probably in 1987. See 4th and 5th editions of On-Track Plant of British Railways. I personally saw it numbered DB979402 in November 1986. I'm confused by the --renumbered link in company:

I have entered a 1986 sighting for this. When new this was numbered DB979402, being renumbered DB979408, probably during 1987. See 4th & 5th editions of On-Track Plant of British Railways. It was renumbered back to DB979402 in 1998. The 10 Jan 1992 sighting is therefore likely a DB979408 sighting wrongly attributed or error for something else. Similarly the March 1998 sighting as there are four subsequent sightings of DB979408. Unless of course the DB979408 sightings have been wrongly attributed.

Are the 2026 sightings of DR92325 sightings at Taunton Fairwater Yard actual eyeball sightings or presumptions from TOPS reports. As far as I'm aware DR92325, along with DR92326 & DR92327 were taken by road from West Ealing to Rotterdam in c3/25 and as such are no longer in GB.

The sighting of DB979132 at Dawlish on 1/8/26 is interesting. If correct, then this long stored wagon has been returned to service.

The sighting of DB979017 at Dawlish on 1/8/26 is interesting. If correct, then long stored DB979017 has returned to use. Typo for DB979107 perhaps?
