Does anyone have any information and or pictures. Thank you in anticipation. Likely to be DRS 68016 & 017 working 6Z35, 05.56 Carlisle Kingmoor Sidings to Hedon Road Sidings. The pair worked back later in the day as 6Z36, 17.58 Hedon Road Sidings to Carlisle Kingmoor Sidings. I don't have any other information. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hazard a strong guess that they’d be PFA wagons for low level nuclear waste. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RusselBridge2017 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Just managed to catch a day light token exchange for the Berkeley branch this morning. Light was still not brilliant at the Alstone Lane crossing, plus a Worcester bound 800 tried to spoil it too. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RusselBridge2017 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Something a little different on the Bridgewater to Crewe flask today. The out bound trip was a hour late at Crewe early this morning so not sure if a DRS was swapped out for a TPE? 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
