Mk 1 Barrier coaches ADB 975875 + ADB 977087, which were often seen at Eastleigh, were delivered to Booth, Rotherham, in late April, currently still extant. 

92 of the KFA wagons, which were leased by Touax to Freightliner, are understood to be stored at Barassie, making moves there in November 2022 to April 2023. One move was pictured, on 26th April. It seems that the wagons were gathered at Basford Hall and Hunslet, then moved onward to Barassie (which historically was a wagon works - location).


TIPH 93484, new in 1988, seen at Millbrook on 6th February, arrived at Barassie on 20th February.
