31201, 275 Bridgwater 14th April 1994
Coal sector Class’s 31201 1nd 31275 take a pause during shunting of 7M53 the 14:24 neuclear flask service to Crewe on 14th April 1994. At the time this was the booked traction but eventully gave way to just about anything that Crewe could find. Class 56's were used for a while but caused us issues when trying to accurately shunt the flask wagon under the crane with all the power on tap. One of my roles at the time was driving the crane here and at Berkley rail head so spent many Thursdays waiting on the flask lorry to shuttle between here and Hinkley Point power station. When DRS took over in 1995 we sadly lost the work.
