Thank you everyone for your kind words. I have enjoyed doing it so much I am thinking of doing the Voyagers next before they dissappear from the WCML. I have done quite a few already. No Trev I have`nt mentioned it to Sir Richard, he will have enough to do without me troubling him. Have a good day.

Chris.

Don't underestimate yourself Chris, I think it is the sort of thing Sir Richard would want to hear about!

While I was driving my little lorry on the M6 going south from Spaghetti Junction I spotted an Allelly low loader on what I think is the A47 by the old Alstrom plant at Washwood Heath. On it was a Pendelino Driving Car ( forgive me I dont know the proper terminology for these things). It was numbered 390 033 and had a first class logo on the side and heading south as if going for the M6 or A38. I hope this helps in your search. Mike.

Thank you very much Mike for that info, I wonder where it was heading, I hope, not to a scrapyard. Does anyone else know anymore details ? thanks.

Chris.

I know that no vehicles will be scrapped until the inquest is complete. I should think that won't be for some time.
It was perhaps just moving to secure storage somewhere.
