The legend on the side refers to Fidlers Ferry circuit, and so during the mid-80s I must have seen this go past Arpley TOPS office and typed it's number into the machine so many times...

Depending which of the coal fields the train had come from (or the docks) I may have seen it come past twice before reaching the power station loop. I did used to wonder why they had the brake vans on the MGR's during the 80's - was it something to do with the unions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippel Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Coal trains from Lancashire and Cumbrian coalfields had to run round at Walton Old Jn and Arpley Jn so to avoid this, brake vans were used on these services to enable propelling between those two junctions.I Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was of more interest when an 08 (or whatever was handy) was on pilot duty, well to all on Slutchers lane bridge anyway :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippel Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) The 08s were used by the coal trains from Yorkshire pits as they came via Chat Moss without a brake van and would also require two run rounds unless the top'n'tail 08 was put on. Prior to this arrangement, coal from Yorkshire pits ran via Dunham Massey and straight along the low level to Fidlers.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted January 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2023 Always nice to see a class 20 on the mainline in this day and age. On 15th January 2023 20007 paired with 20205 at Colne Bridge, heading light engine towards Huddersfield, with 0Z20, Butterley MRC to Peak Forest Cemex Sidings. I presume that the pair are on a short term lease to shunt the Cemex Sidings at Peak Forest,. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
