This was obviously a few year's back, but I have to ask - what traffic would this service have been carrying between Workington and Dover and would this Speedlink service have called anywhere else en route?

Can't see what would be carried from Workington, apart from scrap looking at the wagons, guessing the fuel tanks are empties. It is listed as the 6O38 16.58 Workington - Dover calling at Corkickle, Warrington Arpley and Willesden. So chemicals or empties at least being picked up at its next stop.

RMweb Premium iands Posted October 6, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2019 A recent purchase from eBay. Could have been a contender for posting in "16t Minerals" or "The Human side of the railway...", but I decided on here. The location was described as Barton-on-Humber which I think is incorrect, I think it is New Holland Pier - anyone confirm my assumption please? Also, I think the loco is D1864. As this was at one time an Immingham loco in the late '60s, it would certainly fit in with the location. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 It looks like New Holland Pier, presumably with coal for the paddle steamers? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
