Wagons for cradle modifications, it’s the wagons that normal operate the Hartlepool to Willesden service. Should be on site for around a week.

It was, back in traffic already on 6M26/6E26 today.

All scrapped. All taken out by road to a scrap yard in Bishop Auckland more or less soon as there arrived, all gone within a week. Parts from these wagons did reappear a few weeks later at Celsa in Sunderland, such as buffers, bogies and frames that then got loaded onto the DB service to Cardiff…….

Store until the New Year then an assessment to be completed when the wagons will either be disposed or reinstated, a light engine move will be required to move them once taken place. The wagons are in-fact at the Port of Sunderland not Ward Bros.

No, all the traffic is for Grangemouth. Anything for Mossend travels on 4S92 which runs Monday to Fridays from Tees Dock.

The coal trains are not running at the moment due to no product at Immingham. Trains are expected to be running again shortly. Coal trains will continue until the blast furnaces close, the furnaces need a small amount of coal as part of the steel making process.

During the days of Arriva Trains Northern I remember a Newcastle to York via Durham Coast and Middlesbrough, which was normally operated by a Pacer. Travelling down the ECML at 75mph with a 225 blasting was quite something when sitting near the doors! Edit - Photo of the service leaving...

That would be a surprise. 60063 was currently under going overhaul and has been inside Toton for near 2 years, that would of been first on the list to complete if the claims were true, surely?

The steel for AV Dawson’s is for Nissan and it comes from Margam, generally runs into Middlesbrough on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. This week it’s ran today and it’s running tomorrow https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H01206/2024-03-07/detailed The Trostre traffic is coil on...

I passed both coaches heading up the A1 near Wetherby about 14.30 today, assumed both must of been heading to Kilmarnock.

If this was for the Groundstaff job at Teesport, I believe this has been filled internally

I boarded the 12.36 train at Nunthorpe along with about 40 others, mostly going to the football. One thing I noted was the 5 or so passengers waiting at Gypsy Lane as we sailed passed…….

DB Cargo have HGV drivers out of Toton and delivery to various outstations across the UK.

A coal train from Redcar has been running for the last few months, in fact it’s ran today and will depart this evening back to Tees Yard https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R43803/2023-09-12/detailed Previous to that it was coming via road.

It’s still running, just not as much. Booked to run Tuesday and Wednesday from Tees Dock (so Wednesday and Thursday arrival) into Newbiggin next week.
