History

Numbered 70 5500 465-6, it is used for materials such as scrap metal. Wagon-leasing company Wascosa supplied many Romanian-built bogie box wagons on a ten-year Network Rail contract signed in 2019, with deliveries commencing in 2022. The contract was won in partnership with GBRf which has a long-term contract for hauling Network Rail infrastructure trains. 

The wagons are used for carrying infrastructure materials such as ballast and other aggregates and are also suitable for carrying scrap metal and other materials. The wagons were built at the AstraRail plant in Arad, Romania and were delivered to the UK via the Channel Tunnel.
