Abandoned railway stock, Reading (East)

[317362]

Does anyone know what the trucks/vans that are in the undergrowth East of Reading station in all the undergrowth north of GWML between there and Napier Road Tesco's are?

I thought it/they had gone a few years ago but it/they have resurfaced.

Will try and get a pic but that might not be for several months...

I've just had a look on Google maps, is this what you mean?

I think so, yes, they are very hard to even give an approximate 'bit like' type category to.

They are on the old sidings just north of the tracks that seem to remain but are isolated

Here is a Warship up there in 1982 - D818

Amazing, thanks all. Older than I could have imagined...what survivors!

 

[FGW_DID]

Something to go look for once normality is resumed!

 

[reddragon]

I've seen those wagons down there for years, never thought they'd be abandoned wagons on the old sidings!

 

[Ashley Hill]

I wonder what state they're in?
