I’ve looked on Flickr and there’s loads of 4 and 8 of them preserved. There is one of 44001 heading through Newport station towards Ebbw Junction, it might have been a one off but it goes to show they did travel further west than Seven Tunnel Junction. I’m also sure one arrived at Bristol Temple Meads on a parcel train. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously to the east Midlands or a destination through it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted November 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2020 I think it's worth embedding that photo! That looks like processed coal, so maybe from one of the coking plants in the Northeast to a steel making area?

Obviously to the east Midlands or a destination through it One of the Medway Cement Works? The wagons used for this traffic (initially 'flat-bottom' minerals, then HAAs) would bring coal from the north, then have a short empty run to one of the Kent pits, to reload with coking coal to take back to the north. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
