Have nuclear tanks been through Hereford before?

[Steveswan10]

saw today 68003 and 68018 go through hereford on the Bridgewater-Crewe Basford Hall Nuclear Flasks, nice to see somthing different to the usual steel/coal/stone/timber traffic, I do have one question, has the Nuclear Flasks ever come through hereford before? Would be intrested to know and weather or not this is gonna be a reguler accurence or just a one off.

I can't speak for the past but for a couple of weeks running via Hereford due to the closure of Bristol Parkway

I was also at Hereford at the time they came through, what a coincidence!

Good bit of thrash as they came round the corner too. Not being a regular i didn't realise it wasn't a common working. Lots of freight around today.
