Off the top of my head, the scrapyards that have disposed of stock are:
Sims Newport
Booths Rotherham
Raxstar Eastleigh
EMR Kingsbury
EMR Beeston
Sims Peterborough
Sims Hull

Most of the stock has been going to the first few, with the latter ones only receiving a handful of vehicles. Peterborough and Hull had their stock delivered by road, all the rest are rail connected
Add to that two more small yards -

Sims Alfreton - scrapped 319004, not rail connected
Sandbach Commercial Dismantlers - scrapped at least one 86 from Basford Hall in the last two years. No idea whether rail or road connected.

Theres a few others - one at Ilkeston which scrapped one Mk3 this year or last (no idea why just one went there). Also Hulls of Rotherham who sometimes scrap rail vehicles - they did 60006, cutting it into a number of large pieces on site then by lorry back to their scrapyard.

Don't believe either is rail-connected.

Allsop’s in Nottingham have also scrapped rail vehicles - they took some vehicles from GCRN earlier in the year.

Wasn't one of the spares donor 142s from Wales (ex-Northern) cut up at a scrap yard near Hereford?
