MarkAustin Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 There used to be a 'Fruit D' and a pair of milk tanks near Finsbury Park station disappearing into the undergrowth about 20 years ago, are they still there? I'm pretty sure thay have gone. I don't think they were technically abandoned. They seemed to be used in a Builders (?) yard. Mark Austin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyman7 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 No-one has mentioned the wagon with trees growing out of it that has sat in the bay platform at Maidstone West for well over 20 years.... https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Maidstone/@51.2699867,0.5162338,102m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x47ded602f8347067:0xa6f562520cb400cd link may work - apologies if not!

26power Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Couldn't see anything. Can anyone give more location details? In the carriage depot? Or the abandoned yard on other side of ECML? There's an old electrification wagon in an abandoned siding near Heaton depot in Newcastle. It must have been there since at least the completion of the wiring of the ECML in 1991 or thereabouts. It's some kind of very short wheelbase single bolster wagon with a couple of A-frames mounted on it (which I presume held cable drums). All of the other departmental wagons that were left in Heaton engineers yard (including a very early MK1 corridor coach) were cut up on site about ten years ago. https://goo.gl/maps/Arvm1 Arp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ady77014 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I remember when I was growing up in Basingstoke I remember two wagons in the siding next to the Reading bay platform. Thinking back I think they were lowfits, and they sat around doing nothing for years. However last time I looked they had disappeared... I like to think they were preserved but I doubt it. They the only wagons I seen abandoned for certain, apart from a Frighterliner hopper dumped here in Dorchester for a number of months, probably due to a defect or something.

HullCityB17 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'm not sure but didn't Preston Station at one point have a couple of abandoned GUV's in the Stations Parcel bay? I think they were in Saltlink livery? Unable to find any pictures but I was sure there had been a couple around the 90's. Also for almost 20+ years there were the BOC wagons which used to be stored in the sidings to the west of Barnetby Station which were there so lon they rusted to the rails. They all finally were removed by road for disposal end of last year/early this year I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got back from my cycle ride to Howden and coming back home via Holme-Moor, I can tell you that the former NER clerestory carriage body has gone.

26power Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Good looking restoration. Based on your caption of its internal service use let's hope it was emptied before moving!

Arpster Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Couldn't see anything. Can anyone give more location details? In the carriage depot? Or the abandoned yard on other side of ECML? It's to the north-west of the mainline, just at the back of the new flats that were built on the old coal yard. I managed to take a couple of pretty poor photos from my friend's kitchen window last night: It's sandwiched in a sort of no-man's land between the boundary fence and the new back fence of the housing development, still on a very overgrown siding!

Fat Controller Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Well it nice to here there still around. Thinking about it more, I remember seeing some old wagons in the sidings at west end of Basingstoke's yards. Were they there a long time? There were some Carflats and other items; I passed one of the Carflats on its final journey on the M3 some years ago. They'd been there for ages, and were falling to bits; the one I saw had broken its back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXEA! Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The Shark Brake in Dutch livery that has been dumped in the siding next to Platform 1 at Shenfield for as long as I can remember was mentioned on Anglia Gen a few weeks back with regard to being removed. Not sure if it's been moved yet, I'll have a look on Sunday when I go past! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
