321901 and 321902 have transferred here from Northern.

321437 reported to be being moved from Edge Hill, presumably having arrived by road, to Widnes tomorrow.

Whoever sold Alstom the site must have a good salesman to sell them land with no access for road transporters.

Very strange. You would have thought that they could have towed it from Doncaster to Ditton if it can be towed from Edge Hill.
