Latest NwR tenders list the following for sale:

---

YXA Sleeper Carrier Wagons DR92611, DR92613, DR92614, DR92626, DR92636

All except 92626 are at Whitemoor. 92626 at Harwich.

"All 5 wagons have had various small components removed to provide spares for the operating fleet. The wagons are fitted with AMIII Bogies.

They must be either road hauled or dismantled on site."

---

YSA(B) Barrier Wagons DR92634, DR92645, DR92647, DR92650 all at Whitemoor. Apparently these are unable to leave by rail:

"The buffers on these wagons have exceeded their height tolerance defined in WAG NTSN.

The wagons are unable to leave Whitemoor on the infrastructure. Therefore, on disposal, they must be either road hauled or dismantled on site."

I understand some of these may now be located at Land Recovery, Radway Green, near Crewe where a number of other ex Network Rail wagons and other items of OTM/OTP are presumably still located.

All nine have been acquired by Land Recovery. Whether they are all now located at Radway Green or some elsewhere I don't know. Hopefully some sightings of them will be submitted.

Peter, 92634, 92645 and 92647 had certainly arrived at Radway Green by 12.10.23; not sure of the current status of the others.
