6Z95 departing from Winfrith sidings
Power is applied to 68018 leading the 6Z95 STP 16:00 Winfrith to Crewe Coal sidings with 68016 bringing up the rear. The Network rail staff who operated the ground frame to allow the service to join the down main line can be seen in the background (in the distance).
The traffic conveyed in 10 PFA flats loaded with cabriolet containers is low level radioactive waste in sealed stainless steel drums.
This service initially ran down to Dorchester South in order to reverse and gain the up line, returning back through Winfrith about 25 minutes after departure from the sidings at 16:00.following the passage of a unit on the down main.
This was the second run of this service this year, the inaugural service running on the 24 March 2022.
