Types of TEA's at Robeston

[truckman060473]

Seeing as these oil workings regularly pass where I live in Carmarthen, I am used to seeing mixed rake red liveried Murcos whether on route to/from Westerleigh or Theale. On a few occasions I have seen plain grey Tiphook rail tankers which I assumed ran to Bedworth. However, I went to see the Bedworth working tonight and it was ordinary red Murco TEA's. Where does this grey rake run to/from, and what about the other TEA's that visit or did visit on rare occasions - the EWS Beastie white TEA's ??

From memory, they used to operate trains to/from Kingsbury which
used to run regularly from Robeston until a couple of years ago.

The Tiphook tanks (actually TIAs, rather than TEAs) used to be dedicated
to the Bedworth traffic, but are now 'common user' and seems to be split
equally between the Theale and Westerleigh flows.

Murcos refinery is under threat, so enjoy the tankers while they still run.
