Down where? You're "In The North" remember. Which particular train
demolition yard in London did you have in mind?



What scrapyards still scrap trains?

I know of Immingham, and Simms.

Is Booth Roe Rotherham still going or Glasgow MC?

Mat.


AFAIK MC at Glasgow is now a branch of Tesco. Again AFAIK, the breakers
closed due to the infamous 1000+ day lack of orders for new trains and
resultant lack of Mk1s being withdrawn.


Booths at Rotherham is still a going concern, but didn't the last
batch of 101s for scrap go to somewhere in South Wales from Longsight
last week?
