Caerwent, near Newport, South Wales

In December 2003 about a dozen Class101 cars were moved from Longsite to part of the MOD site at Caerwent where a private firm, JT landscapes, was cutting up scrap vehicles. All were gone by the end of January 2004, except for late arrival set 101692 which eventually left for preservation
