CREEKMOOR VIADUCT

The causeway is known as "The Mud" by local railwaymen and was originally constructed in 1842 as a single line. Creekmoor and Upton Viaducts were built in 1937 to enable tidal water flow.

 

The train is operated by Direct Rail Services, part of Nuclear Transport Solutions NTS and consists of purpose-built flasks and wagons.

 

'Astute' & 'Intrepid' Class68s take charge of two nuclear waste wagons from Winfrith to Crewe. 68 003 leading 002 are seen crossing the causeway aka 'The Mud' at Holes Bay, Dorset. The mud flats attract a lot of wading birds.
