SW Freightliner

[Turbostar]

Does anyone know what, if any, Freightliner services run in the South West, apart from the Moorswater cement train? Was on way to work this morn, & FL66 was in Tavistock Junc. yard with rake of those new FHH MJA's. Left late afternoon/early this eve Exeter bound.

Moorswater cement hasnt run for months and is looking dodgy.

As for the MJA wagons in Tavi Jn (no 10 road!) this morning they arrived from Neath Abbey Siding at Jersey Marine (Swansea) loaded with roadstone for use by Bardon Aggregates (apparently they have a depot at Plympton). This may run again, but will be very infrequent, have been several similar moves in the past of this roadstone to Burngullow, in Cornwall, again for Bardon Aggregates.

On the subject of Tavi Yd 08405 has apparently been swapped for grey 09013.

I take it 405 being the EWS liveries one?

[Nat the Ned]

Yeah 405 is the EWS one thats been there a while. Shouldve gone and plain grey 09013 should be in its place...

 

[Turbostar]

405 was there this morn. Was shunting around the yard. Makes a change, as usually seen plonked outside the shed doing nothing lol.

[Nat the Ned]

Well that could of been the last time you see it at Tavi, grey 09013 shouldve arrived by road today and 08405 taken away. That was the plan.

 

[Turbostar]

Well, off 2moz, so won't go past 'til sun.
