Why exactly are they being taken all the way to Grimsby to be
demolished? Wouldn't it be more effective to do it down here?

Asbestos.

Somehow I doubt anything containing asbestos would be shredded by a
demolition crane as that coach was. Meyer Newman used to put such
vehicles through a firing tunnel which inflicted such a conflagration
that the main frames would sag, not sure what other scrapyards did but
to get rid of asbestos is serious work.

A lot of the SR EMU's are being stored in Shoeberryness MOD site by serco.
They have set up an asbestos removal building. When they are finished with
it it gets takes to a scrapyard by road and then broken up. I have been to
the site a couple of times regarding my groups 308 vehicle.
