Additional Notes One of two Luggage Composites making up bungalow "Darley Dale" in South Wootton, near Kings Lynn. Reported 11/14 for sale by auction 12/12/14 (Duke's Head, Kings Lynn). Site likely to be redeveloped, so both coach bodies now very much "at risk". On-site examination 03/15 reported 03/15 suggests one to be a 1st/3rd Composite with a central luggage section - no internal partitions but with central double doors. The other reported also as a 1st/3rd Composite but as a lavatory vehicle - partitions largely intact and floor markings and window arrangement clearly indicate the positions of the lavatories. 09/18: property sealed up with a builder's board on fence - 'at risk' status confirmed. 06/23: the site at South Wootton has now been redeveloped - information on the new location or fate of the two bodies would be welcomed.
