Cumbrian Coast Grids at Parton
After a reversal at Maryport, 56113 eases through Parton with the 6Z87 08:38 Workington Docks to Drigg BNF. Stockpiled from local quarries, the aggregates conveyed in this short term flow were used not just for construction purposes but also for the capping of storage vaults at Drigg Low-Level Waste Repository, near to Drigg village. The site is the UK's central long-term storage facility for low-level radioactive waste. Although Colas operated, the trips utilised blue JNA-T wagons hired in from Cappagh / DC Rail.
