I was on this working last Saturday morning, the 6th of March. It went to NAW as 6Z20, loaded, and then went to Crewe Basford Hall as 6Z21. I'm not sure what the stone is being used for. Basford Hall as a destination suggests an engineering job, but the stone we haul out of NAW is too fine to be used as ballast. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on where it's ultimately going and what it's being used for?

could it be something to do with the re development of the old Llandarcy site, with removal of stone / rubble?
I worked this job a few weeks back although the routing was slightly different..... It came up via Hereford and Shrewsbury where a Crewe man relieved it, he brought it to Wolverhampton and I took it from there to Croft Sidings on the Nuneaton - Leicester line, it's original destination should have been Bardon Hill on the Leicester - Burton branch but they couldn't accept it. Not sure what the stone is actually used for though.
