Hi All,
Who's responsibility is it to remove abandoned railway carriages from the network, either in or out of use tracks?
To clarify 'abandoned' I'm thinking of the ex-royal mail carriages on the lines to the south of the Princess Royal Mail Distribution Centre 'Brent Sidings' WCML or the flat wagons stored in Hanwell Bridge Sidings GWML.
Are some of these assets just to be left until Network Rail decide to sell some of the land off, re-use the land and then clear up?
Surely there must be an owner for some of this equipment, who has a duty to dispose of equipment correctly weather the railway track is in use or not?
Thanks.
