Nuclear Power:Weight Ratio

The nuclear flask moves always provide a mismatch of motive power to trailing weight due to the special nature of these trains, none more so than when two Class 88s are on the front. With both locos under power 10,800hp is available when the locos are operating under the wires for just two FNA flask wagons.

Direct Rail Services Class 88s, 88 008 "Ariadne" and 88 006 "Juno" effortlessly haul 6C53 06:25 Crewe Coal Sidings DRS to Sellafield British Nuclear Fuels through Winsford station.
