Volker Rail in Leeds

[Crossforth]

I was in Leeds earlier, before I headed into Manchester and I saw a Volker Rail unit. It looked like a rail grinder but I don't know. I do have some pictures but I cannot get them off my camera at the present time to show you.

The unit left Leeds at 13:50, anybody know anything about the unit or the working?

VolkerRail took over GrantPlant some time ago, they own a variety of OTM's (on track machines) over the country. Up north it seems Doncaster, Wakefield Kirkgate and Holbeck (although someone would have to verify that) seem to be places where they are stabled.
