Reported status at 06.00 10th May is that all three cranes at Bescot (ADRC 96710), Knottingley (ADRC 96714) and Wigan (ADRC 96713) are available and one (which one not mentioned) is on standby awaiting advice from the on site Recovery Engineer sometime Thursday morning. I would be surprised for the crane and vans to come from different locations but you never know.

I was the On Call Engineer attending from FL, we finally did the job with a BRUFF, a 500 tonne road crane and a support 50 tonne road crane to assist in turning the wagon over before being placed on the trailer to be roaded away.

Cheers
