Musky They were not always parked up in a siding but instead as part of the consist of a train. This was usually the practice with seasonal traffic, the classic example was the soft fruit traffic on the Wisbeach and Upwell where a passenger rated parcels van was attached to the train as an office. It would have been uneconomic to build an office that would be required only for a couple of weeks each year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catkins Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 IIRC they were sometimes used as additional office space too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
