Does anyone know the ID of the new MAN Rail Whale drainage truck here?

Sorry no, but there were two there on Friday 22nd January.

There were none there today - well at least on the station side. I walked from the station [in the pouring rain!] to the entrance to the SB Rail depot this afternoon but no powered OTP was seen at all either at the NR compounds or on track.

It was parked right at the Stalybridge end you'd of only seen it off a train.

Having also visited the yard and having ventured to the Stalybridge end on the same day as Andrew, I can confirm that there were no Whale Tankers present or visible on that day!
