Basically, it carries rubbish to landfill sites and similar. Used to be called the "bin-liner" trains. Don't know the wagon kind, though.

Hope this helps

Cool, thanks

Anybody know what wagon kind it is?

Possibly a FAA wagon, or FCA

Presume a Manchester bin wagon so should be a KFA in the GMC925.. series

Looks like Wakefield Kirkgate to me, so don't think it will be the Manchester flow.

 

[Crossforth]

yeah it is Kirkgate

Runs from Manchester to near Scunthorpe

Thought it went to somewhere on the west coast. Oh well, learn something new everyday I suppose.

I seen em a few times, but they always seem to be empty...

Just as well - they stink when they're loaded!

Probably coming back from the east where the rubbish is dumped. Just a guess.

These type of trains also run from Calvert Landfill site in Buckinghamshire to Bath and Bristol I believe. Very smelly affairs indeed!

These are indeed KFAs and run on the waste trains or binliners between Manchester-Broxbury-Scunthorpe via Doncaster. The number ranges are..... GMC92500-GMC92542 and GMC92580-GMC92588. The Bristol to Calvert binliner number range is AVON92563-AVON92579. There is also a scottish flow utiling wagons CAIB95378-CAIB95380 and EDC95420-EDC95431. Hope this clears things up for you.

If you want to know this sort of thing in future a lot of them are listed at http://www.freightliner.co.uk/default.aspx?PageID=142 . There are a couple of types that seem to be only for waste at http://www.freightliner.co.uk/default.aspx?PageID=149 .
