Spring 2007 updates
21st April 2007
A quick round up of some of Spring's OTP news.
Booths
A trip to Booth's scrapyard at the end of March showed just one item of plant remaining - 76314. Everything else has been scrapped, including a lot of machines marked as "do not cut".
One cab of 73264 also remains - in use as a small shed.
These were joined at the beginning of April by a selection of Hexthorpe's demics - 96504, 96508, 96512, 96513 and 96514. It is not yet known whether 96511 followed/will follow.
Preservation news
In a welcome change, several of Carillion's old tampers have been preserved. 73250 can now be found at the Kent & East Sussex Railway; whilst 73303 and 73315 are now at the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway.
