I am very used to seeing 4 (I think it is) carriages int eh sidings at Thingley which look distinctly destroyed.  That wasn't done by some angry commuters in days gone by was it?

Couldn't say if they are the actual ones but IIRC a football special a few years back had a particularly nasty case of vandalism including being set fire to, and which subsequently led to the banning of alchohol on every special since.
