The Turbot wagons have done well. They were bought by LU, effectively at scrap prices a long time ago; I'm sure someone with a better memory than mine will remind us when. They made a great difference to the efficiency of track renewal before the days of Metronet and the class 66/100t wagons. Indeed there were some that suggested they had paid for themselves in efficiency savings within 6 months of going into service.

I believe the 60 strong Turbot fleet was purchased in 1995 and converted for use on LU.

The vehicles were built between 1982 and 1988 on the underframes of older wagons!

Certainly a good advert for British resourcefulness! Long may they continue.

I love my A stock I do!
