Whilst walking home from work on Thursday night I noticed this single slam door carriage, still in its original British Rail livery, being loaded onto a low-loader at the entrance to Bombardier Ilford Train Maintenance Depot, presumably to be taken for scrap. A building has been demolished, which looks to have been done to make way for Crossrail maintenance facilities, as some signs which have been placed on some nearby lamp posts indicate. Looking south-southeast.
