Retired Royal Mail carriages at Mossend...

[Jydo]

After resting on the sidings for more than 4 years these carriages have now permanently been removed & are currently being dismantled for scrap at a nearby location....

Whom are doing the scraping?

Is there any email address I could have?

The train was located on an east siding just off the up yard which is currently used by Freightliners, its currently being scrapped in a yard (west side of Mossend down yard) directly behind DB Schenker. Sorry but im an outsider looking in, dont have any other information, thought this might be of interest to a few people. I stay a stone throw away from here & noticed it

Some moved to the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, most (if not all) having now been scrapped. The rest moved to Carnforth Depot.
One, 94213, has moved to the Mid Hants Railway.

Ah good, so some have been saved then. I know it's probably a pipedream but I'd love to see a rake recreated equal to the Great Central Railway's preserved set, with a RES 47/5 or 47/7 and the last remaining PCV again.

Dont think so, I think they are there for spares recovery.

Is there really just one PCV left?

There are loads at Willesden and at Tyne arent there?

I hope so, I was only going by what I've read on the net but to see more than 1 left would be good - even if it stands as there's just one in preservation so far.

Loads in Tyne Yard still (there was in late January when i last visited Newcastle)
