OHL MPVs - still used?

[rj90]

Are the original white OHL MPVs still used? I went through Newark earlier and saw 3 of the modules looking dumped in the cess. A quick look on here and route view and that situation dates back to 2015!
The MPVs are very versatile pieces of kit, was just wondering if anyone knew if they were still in use or if the dumping of some of the modules was just a symptom of them now being mothballed? With the different modules they could be so useful for so many projects

According to Wikipedia, they are mostly stored.

I thought I recently saw one heading towards Rugby, but not sure how recently that was, or maybe it was some MPV driving cars? Where are the electrification trains based or stored?

The remaining ones are formed into something known as the “OCR” train, Overhead Conditional Renewal, In short a wiring train for the whole country able to respond at short notice to restore the knitting usually after a dewirement.
Whilst local teams will have unimogs and cable drum carriers etc this train steps in when area of repair is over wide area.
The 4 driving ends carry names in memory of ole staff killed in an accident with a unimog basket in 2011
DR 98003/004/009/010. Plus intermediate wagons 2x access platforms 1x tensioning module 1x cable drum module making an 8 car formation that splits once on site performing various individual tasks.
