Some more crusty wagons were visible in a siding and only viewable from a train ride. Highlights include a cut-n-shut double length Freightliner twin wagon; some Conflats, and who knows what else.
* Would've gladly paid for a Wagon Walk Experience to get closer to these!

Lurking in a corner at The Greatest Gathering were these interesting crusty old wagons. One was an "Internal User" shunting runner wagon; and the other a large flat wagon marked "LUL Material Only".

* Provokes debate about why the light grey flash was only x-height thickness whereas the blue and red were cap-height thickness (not to mention why Network SouthEast chose the obscure Britannia Italic for their supporting typeface)
Yes, it was quite the sight. (I only saw it once, at an NSE gala day at London Bridge.) www.departmentals.com/photo/975486a

Not sure I had appreciated the Railtrack had a livery of its own—orange and grey it seems
In addition Class 121 Bubble Cars, 977723 (960021) in Railtrack Orange and Grey livery, and 977866 (960013) in Network Southeast livery, these sandite units previously numbered 55021 (L121) and 55030 (L130).
Both units now scrapped.
