NP's at Berkley

Soon after the 1994 Hungerford derailment involving loaded ARC JHA hoppers, the entire fleet were withdrawn for examination. A rake of hoppers from National Power were transferred to Merehead as temporary cover. These wagons used almost entirely on Merehead - Theale F.Y circuit, hauled by two class 37's. On 6th October 1994 a rare pairing of 2 ex-Metal subsector 37137 Clyde Iron and 37042 are pictured at Berkley Marsh with 7c31 Theale F.Y - Merehead empties. Their stay at Westbury was fairly limited.
