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resultant lack of Mk1s being withdrawn.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?


Yes somewhere in South Wales...but i'm not sure where though.
