Last remains of Jarvis to go under the hammer

The last remnants of the rail business of failed engineer Jarvis will be on the block at the InnoTrans exhibition in Berlin later this month. Valuations consultancy Edward Symmons is selling the last plant and equipment and expects to raise £5m to £10m.

All eyes will be on the Mole, one of only two machines of its type in the world. The machine, despite it's name, is described by Edward Symmons consultant Jonathan Garside as "a bit like a bulldozer".
