""When it was all British Rail, if they had some redundant sidings, they would dump all their old trains. There wasn't really a pressure to get rid of them. Now, with private companies owning the sites, you have to pay to store vehicles. Nobody wants old vehicles sat around - they can be graffitied, vandalised - and so the onus really is to move them on."
