Scrapper. Park Royal Class 103 DMBS M50399 languishes in sidings (on the Up side) to the north of Carlisle Kingmoor Depot. Boarded up, it awaits a final trip for scrap. Surprisingly, the underframe equipment seems relatively intact and an engine is visible on this side. Hopefully the shunters will take notice of the lack of a hand brake!
