Yes, they had some rx Wmpte sheds, or fleetlines given their name. Sure they had a couple of ex Mpte Bkc-K atlanteans at first as well. Eventually taken over by North Western, there is a photo of one of the fleetlines in North Western livery knocking about including in s Barnsley scrap yard where it should have started.
