Rail Vac 9970 9515 001-4
31452 at the platform
 31452
VTG 3754, a PNA wagon - 34 tonne ballast / spoil wagon. Remnant of"RAILTRACK Renewing Your Railway" and "caib" logo (former name for VTG). This was in storage at Long Marston in 2013, having arrived there sometime in 2008. Later received attention at Eastleigh in August 2014. These wagons were built in 1988-89 on the underframes of TTA tanks, and this group may be the last in traffic, although more could be in the second Railvac formation.
31601 is rolled out of Redbridge - with smoke from 31452 in the distance.
