Lafarge Aggregates, Banbury
The plan was to photograph this self-unloading train arriving at the station (4.59am) where the loco runs round to take the train up to the depot, and then catch the shunting I've been told about - and which I am not sure about: how does the conveyor wagon serve the loaded wagons on its north side?
For various reason I goofed and arrived at 10.15am when the train was being prepared for the off, back to Mountsorrel. I swear I shall catch all this another day before it gets too dark at 5am! 66046 is at the head.
PS: The WTT for the working shows TuThO but it normally runs ThO, and not every week. Departure is 10.42 from the Lafarge siding, and 10.47 from Banbury Junction, just visible in the distance.
