Should scrapped sleepers also be under Carriages formerly resident on the SVR?--Patrick Hearn (talk) 22:11, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes I suppose so if the extant ones are listed as current carriages. Are those Caledonian sleepers stored at Kidderminster also Mk 3s - if so maybe they ought to be mentioned as well (I don't have any details of them).--Robin (talk) 22:37, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Yes. On 25th November, 47593 delivered eight Mark 3 Sleepers Express Points December. I don't know anywhere the identities are published--Patrick Hearn (talk) 23:01, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

A Facebook post December 2022 lists those present as 10504 and 10513 (Mark 3A SLEP), 10648, 10650, 10675 and 10683 (Mark 3A SLE) and ex-First Great Western carriages Nos 40806, 40808, 41153, 41187, 42319 and 46012. Some of the numbers differ.--Patrick Hearn (talk) 23:48, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

I accounted for 10 today: 10675, 42583, 40106 and 10648 alongside the Carriage Shed at Kidderminster and 10683, 10513, 10650, 42319, 46012 and 10504 on P3 at Bewdley (all of which were here 12 months ago). Eight of those match Facebook (40106 and 42583 are the ones I saw which not listed there). Of the four listed on Facebook which I didn't see, 40808 was here 12 months ago so may be still be here but elsewhere on the railway; I have no previous info on 40806, 41153 and 41187. I've updated the list in the article to reflect the 10 I saw, but happy to add the others as 'provisional sightings' (can anyone on the Facebook groups add anything to this)?
