Arnside freight
You gonna wait the long wait
(be patient, it's a matter of time)
It's been a good while since we last had a decent freight train along this section of the ex- Furness route, but hopefully this might become a regular flow, at least in the short term.
On a day when the majority of the country was blessed with unbroken sunshine, 68003 'Astute' traverses the Kent estuary over Arnside Viaduct with 6C15, the 10.00 Drigg BNF - Shap Summit Quarry empty stone on Thurs 6th February 2025.
The current flow of trains are moving stone from Shap Quarry into the Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg BNF for the capping of vaults.
