66762 had 70803 + 66176 in tow on 6O41 10:14 Westbury -Eastleigh.
The wagon was of interest, DB 996215, a YKA 'Osprey'. With the arrival of the Wascosa flats, these older wagons have in many cases been stood down, although there are few indications so far of movements to scrapyards, which seem to be busy with ongoing disposals of MHA / MPA 'Coalfish', and OBA / OCA wagons. 996215 has been noted several times in the past month, on various workings from Eastleigh and Westbury. The wagon number and builder's plate are shown below, as affixed by Head Wrightson in 1954, as part of Lot 2534.
