Hmm .. Interesting. Possible conversion for replacing older RTC test train stock? Or is that unlikely?

There's been a fair few ex-ATW/GA Mk3s filtering through the RTC recently, seem to have been visiting for contract maintenance from LORAM rather than anything to do with Network Rail. Replacing Mk1s/Mk2s with Mk3s on the infrastructure monitoring fleet isn't really likely because their route availability (as 23m vehicles vice 20m) is so much lower.

Thanks Townsend Hook. Good to hear! Sometimes seems like no sooner do I clear my departmental carriages (ie seen in departmental service) than they get some more!

I'm looking for info about Mk3 sleeper withdrawal and disposal / scrapping - but I don't seem to be able to find a related thread. Could someone point me in the right direction please? Many thanks

According to the RHRP Carrage Database the 2 Mk3 sleepers from Dartmoor 10595 and 10611 have gone to Newport for scrapping (along with mk2 9501).

I wonder if the clearout of Ely is about to begin then; being buckeye / alliance coupler fitted vehicles in that move, I would hazard a guess at it being either the FRH or any of the remaining ex LNER Mk3s.

There’s no FRH vehicles at Ely: they’re either in GWR property or at Long Marston (presumably First are now paying Porterbrook to store them).

Maybe the 317s even.
Because a 3 weeks ago these vehicles was involved in a move with a 769 from burton to wolverton centre sidings.
3 weeks ago this week.
Maybe as a trial for the moves.
Interesting to see what those next two days fetch up.

Yesterday's move from Ely to Newport were a set of ex LNER Mk3s from HST sets.

DVTs 82126 and 82101 have been taken to Booths. These are the Pretendolino DVT and the spare (which never received the new Virgin livery). After use by Virgin and (and Greater Anglia in the case of 82126) they were sold to DRS, who never used them and they remained stored until disposed of.

DVT 82149, which had been at the fire service college in Moreton in Marsh for a number of years, was apparently taken to Sims at Newport for scrapping in January this year.

10618 at Bodmin is no longer used and is decaying and may well be disposed of (their February 2022 magazine says).
