BR "Anhydrite” Hopper - what flows did they run on?

[Carl. H.]

Hello all,

 

Apart from the famous S&C flow, did these wagons operate on other services across the country?

 

Thanks

In their last days they operated from Wellingborough but, although I was told at the time, I have forgotten where they worked to. They had the doors stuffed with newspaper to make them tight, so could have been sand. They were loaded in the station yard.

I saw the odd example at places like Reading and March yards, but I don't know if these were regular traffic flows.
