Does anyone know where the GBRf or Colas RHTTs are maintained - used to be Balfour, but would imagine they've moved about since it transferred?

Just to clarify, are you referring to the MPV trains currently based at locations such as Wigan,
Kings Norton, etc rather than the loco-hauled sets?

I was going on the assumption that they were all loco-haulted (like at Tonbridge) but that seems to not be the case. But specifically, those on the RHTT GBRf/Colas contract, which may be a combination, including MPVs.

All the loco-hauled wagons are maintained at York wagon works (shown on RTT as 'York Thrall'),
which is where they can be found between January and September each year.
