Pentreporth (Cynheidre branch) These trains had a number of stops to pin and unpin brakes, so were allowed several hours for a journey of perhaps 10 miles. I saw at least three runaways where guard or driver misjudged the number of brakes to pin down. Fortunately, none ran on to the main-line, though one ended up in the sand drag at Old Castle Crossing. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 20-tonners were uprated to 21 tons, then becoming 21.5 tonnes with metrication. Mind you, when I had to go through hundreds of weighbridge tickets, I never saw anything that was loaded according to the painted mark..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
