Slam door carriage torn apart on BBC South Today
Once upon a time, Robin Mayes spake thus:
"CJG Now Thankfully Living In The North" wrote in message m... Why exactly are they being taken all the way to Grimsby to be demolished? Wouldn't it be more effective to do it down here? Asbestos. Somehow I doubt anything containing asbestos would be shredded by a demolition crane as that coach was. Meyer Newman used to put such vehicles through a firing tunnel which inflicted such a conflagration that the main frames would sag, not sure what other scrapyards did but to get rid of asbestos is serious work. -- - Jack. http://www.tabbyvans.co.uk -- For 'purrfect' caravan holidays! |

A lot of the SR EMU's are being stored in Shoeberryness MOD site by serco. They have set up an asbestos removal building. When they are finished with it it gets takes to a scrapyard by road and then broken up. I have been to the site a couple of times regarding my groups 308 vehicle. Nick www.acemugroup.org.uk |

Down where? You're "In The North" remember. Which particular train
demolition yard in London did you have in mind? What scrapyards still scrap trains? I know of Immingham, and Simms. Is Booth Roe Rotherham still going or Glasgow MC? Mat. |

Again AFAIK, the breakers closed due to the infamous 1000+ day lack of orders for new trains and resultant lack of Mk1s being withdrawn. HTH GreenArrow |
