British Rail "Permeant Way Notes"

[_Henry_]

Does anyone know how to find the old British Railway's "Permanent Way Notes". I've been having a look online but can't find them - are they available in a library somewhere? In particular, following my posts on buffer stops which then led into a discussion of sand drags I was just trying to find the 1964 "Permanent Way Notes: Sand Drags" from BR Chief Civ Eng. Office (XP119-XP120). Any idea where I might find it?

Many thanks!

There's material in the national archives at Kew? That might have something.

Many thanks @68000 and @Nottingham59.

I couldn't manage to find it yet but I am still searching! Also, I found this useful website which provides a good selection of BR Permanent Way Notes https://www.norgrove.me.uk/permanent_way_notes.htm but does not include all of them including the one I'm after).
