Freight traffic at Lea Bridge

[Class15]

Hi all, can I just confirm if any freight traffic runs through Lea Bridge at present? Trawling through Railcam is awkward because of the number of junctions in the area and Lea Bridge isn’t a mandatory passing report point.

Would there be stone trains from the WAML and any container trains coming up from the GEML onto the GOBLIN? I could also imagine cement trains from the GEML heading onto the MML at Carlton Road possibly?

Temple mills east junction is probably the closest reliable timing point

According to the TPRs, Temple Mills East Junction is the closest mandatory timing point for all trains, Coppermill Junction is mandatory for all trains on the Up & Down Cambridge Lines (so only not shown in trains on the single line only as far as Meridian Water).

If RailCam allows you to search for 2 locations, use both of those to capture.
If only 1, I'd choose Temple Mills East Jn as the direction of the junction means that all trains timed there must have come from or be going to Lea Bridge. (except those to/from Orient Way CS, but they'd be easy to ignore/filter.)

The Harlow Mill stone train (6L42/6M87) runs that way too.

Thank you all, great information!

(About Temple Mills E Jn, I was thinking of anything running round in the loop which would avoid it)
