There were doored versions with a Shellstar livery but the body colour appears to have been white, not the blue associated with the curtainsided originals https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/ukfvan/e53721046 Paul

I wasn't thinking about a controlled stop at buffers but an accident as it is an accident we are discussing. Paul

It is an interesting report and as others have said a whole series of unrelated concerns. However, as a mere customer, I must say that the industry ignoring the effect of lower speed shunts is worrying. OK so the interiors have been softened. But, these are not aircraft where everyone is required to stay seated and locked down until the plane has come to a standstill. Instead my experience is that a high proportion of passengers on the ECML begin to get ready to get up as they pass Emirates stadium. Speed can still be quite high (my experience is only on HST and 91s). So most are

I wonder what diag 13 was mentioned on UC002A and B ? It shows an end door on a relatively (compared to diag 1/051 china clay) high wagon. I don't recognise it at all. Was it simply the wrong wagon to show a diagram for the standard clays equipped with the fixed high bar for ball clay? Paul

At the far end, by the steps up to the next car park, there remains a COALITE sign on a wooden board. I'm sure some of my Ebor group mates remember the drops in use. They have tried to explain how it was worked, but I don't really understand them, but then that aerial photo is difficult to decipher as well.
