Wagons from the final ARC / Hanson JHA move from Whatley

The final clear out move of 34 JFA / JHA wagons from Whatley took place on 21st February, going to Crewe, from where two more moves can be anticipated going to the scrapyards. Here we look at four wagons in the move, where prototype 17901 has already been covered.
