I had a look inside the now closed shed at Bletchley the other day and seen two DRS mark 2 or 3 carriages inside, they must of been in there a while as i haven't seen any loco movement there for a while, what are they doing there?

IIRC DB Regio/Arriva had been reported to be storing some of their mk.3 carraiges at Bletchley TMD... from what i can remember it was mostly the mk3s purchased after the demise of Cargo-D, that were expected to be stored at the site once they were released from/by Barrow Hill.

but im happy to be corrected if im wrong...

They are actually Mk. 3s bought by DB Regio from DRS a year or two ago.

Showing on TOPS at Bletchley TMD (location 70302) are...

11046, 11019, 11030, 11054, 10237 and 11044.

Maybe someone can shed some light on those numbers?

There were 7 DRS livieried Mkiii coaches inside the shed when i visited during the summer for work. I have some pictures on my flickr (but only for friends!)

I was lead to understand that the former Cargo D stuff was going there but perhaps not

Two were 11046 & 11054
