JYA disposal commences, October 2022

At the start of the year, there were 57 of the original order of 61 of these wagons still on TOPS - the other 4 were scrapped at Whatley in 2010. All a familiar sight in these parts since delivery to Foster Yeoman service from Orenstein & Koppel in 1988. Speed restricted to 45mph, they are effectively being replaced by the latest blue VTG JNA boxes. 

The wagons are twin-pipe air braked, and are buck-eye coupled within set, with 10 examples code JY012A having chain couplers at one end as 'outer' wagons.

22 of the wagons were moved by 90003 as 7M51 from Wembley- Crewe Basford Hall on Thursday 13th one two, in the first stage of storage and disposal.
