Unless it runs later. As of 0133 hours on Tuesday 13th April. Movement showing cancelled. 37601 was in place with 5x barrier vehicles and 365506 was meant to have gone according to my reliable source. It could possibly go later.
Just maybe if it cannot go to Newport Simms. Could it go to Booths Rotherham in time maybe? In the very early hours due to Booths scrap yard so near by. Possibly both 365506 and 365536 are totally finished ie brakes and air totally gone on them.
However as the song goes we shall be we shall not be moved.

Update further 0143 hours Tuesday 12th April. 5M57 0410 Doncaster Belmont yard to Derby rtc network rail.
37601 returning with 5 barriers. Even the barriers cannot shift them. They want to stay at Belmont yard. Never to leave the ecml. Their Home stomping ground.

Could it be a possibility that the 365s due to the situation they are in, ie hard to move. Might possibly need dragging on a skate to a suitable location, somewhere at 5 Mph. Ie which is very close by, and then go by road from there to Newport. Ie from a rail road access yard point. Or go to Booths Rotherham instead due to its close proximity.
However Newport Docks Simms could still have contract rights for the scrapping. Something similar due to the 319 thread involving 319374 which went by road from Long Marston to Newport Simms also due to it not having been moved since its arrival around on 19th November 2019. Ie same situation no air brakes unable to move. Its quite possible 365506 365536 are now well facing the same situation. We don't know for sure but has the final 365 actually ran on the mainline now. Even though it was being moved for scrap??

Not quite sure? but to be fair, i believe that 506 and 536 are trying to survive from the shredder at Newport. Also, for your information at Booths, 541 was still intact

The unit will have been sold to Sims, who then sell it on in its “new” form.
Think of it like this - The vehicles are sold to the yard, processed and sold on again.

Yes that's correct. However it needs translator Van's for the move to provide through brake continuity for its onwards movement due to the unit being disabled and lack of air also. However it is the second attempt doing this method. Also hence its speed restriction. If all else fails it will need dragging at 5 MPH on a skate to the nearest road access point in the yard or nearby and will have to go by road from there for scrap.
