Back to the Lickey
On the evening of the 28th May 2020 Class 66/0 no.66059 passes Powderham with the 6Z60 1151 Parkandillack to Bescot Down Side.
Clay services from Cornwall have been reduced to just ten wagons per week rather than the normal 20. The train currently runs direct from Cornwall to Bescot before working forward to Cliffe Vale in Stoke-on-Trent where the china clay is generally used in chemicals and paint. The locomotive is one of five modified for banking duties on the Lickey incline in Worcestershire and carrys an additional headlamp to assist with coupling and uncoupling in the dark. Unfortunately there will be no need for a banker up the Lickey with this light load.
