My last outing for the time being was to Bridgwater for the Hinckley Point flask train to Crewe Coal Sidings, 6M67
The locos used were DRS 68001 and 68018. The photos show them retrieving the flask wagons from the secure compound, then running round the train, reversing on to the main line and then away.

The Flask movement, in general, runs weekly and at present on Tuesdays, However last week when I had a spare Tuesday it ran on the Monday! Murphy's Law!
I understand that this working will last many more months yet
Take care, Bill Elston

Many thanks indeed for your record of the collection of the nuclear flask yesterday - it's the first time we've been privilaged to see it at Bridgwater.
