I'd witnessed the outward trip being unloaded at Northampton Aggregates, Castle Yard, earlier in the day, so wasn't surprised to capture it on it's return to Mountsorrel, passing through Cathiron. 66213 was doing the honours, Saturday 24.1.15

The route south of Derby towards Birmingham was completely blocked by a trespass incident however thankfully the Stoke line was unaffected, allowing this and a later charter to continue.

Taken near Dun Mill Lock - the line of trees to the right hiding the progress of the Kennet and Avon Canal. My spies tell me there has been some clearing of lineside vegetation recently opening up more of a vista - see below.

59204 wheels 7O69, 1306 Acton TC to Crawley New Yard, past the lovely spring blossom at Kensington Olympia. This train is usually formed from a portion of 'Jumbo' stone train 7A09 that divides at Acton Yard.
This working from Lavant Quarry in West Sussex to Drayton (to the east of Chichester) was the primary reason for an interest in rail freight operations for me that has lasted (to date) getting on for 28 years. This was such an idiosyncratic working, with the unique Tarmac (formally Francis aggregates) side discharge wagons hauled by a class 73 (or occasionally a class 33) on a 5 mile trip several times a day. The afternoon trip is pictured leaving the quarry in November 1987 with the usual load of gravel. At Drayton the wagon side doors were activated by the application of compressed air and the load discharged into a lagoon, where the gravel parted company with the associated clay, and the clean gravel was recovered simply by dredging using a mechanical excavator. I had many trips to the quarry and even had a ride up the branch once on this service.
Today everything has gone and the track bed is a cycle path. Happy memories indeed

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Warrington Arpley Yard.
Date : 07/06/2014.
Type : Bogie Aggregate Hopper.
Weight : 102 t GLW / 27.9 t Tare.
Number : 300607 (82 70 672 3 607-1)
Number Series : 300600 to 300685 (with gaps ex NP 19600 to NP 19685 fleet).
Builder : 1995 by OY Transtech, Finland.
TOPS Code : HKA.
UIC Code : Fabnooss.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
When EWS bought out National Power's rail operations in April 1998 as well as six class 59 locomotives it inherited a fleet of 21 JHA stone hoppers (no's. NP 19400 to NP 19420) and a fleet of 85 JMA coal hoppers (no's. NP 19601 to 19685). In recent years the latter have been mostly stored out of use having seen use on some aggregate workings and Fiddlers Ferry power station coal trains. With a shortage of hopper wagons DB Schenker has taken the decision to reinstate these vehicles after a major overhaul and refurbishment. The ex JMA's are being outshopped from Marcroft's Wagon Works at Stoke with new Axiom LTF bogies replacing the older Gloucester inside frame disc braked LTF bogies. The refurbished wagons carry dual numbers and have been UIC registered by DB as well as carrying a new TOPS number range in the 3006xx series. It's unconfirmed but on first inspection the last three digits of the original numbers have been retained thus this wagon 300607 was probably NP 19607. It's UIC number also incorporates the running number digits 607. Overhauled wagons are being assembled in Arpley Yard at Warrington but I am currently not sure what flow they are going to be allocated too. An obvious candidate would be the sinter lime from Shap to Redcar should DB be awarded a long term contract. This flow is currently using un-refurbished ex National Power JMA's.
Aggregate Industries no. 59002 "Alan J Day" crawls through a gloomy Ealing Broadway, passing P4 with 4400t of Mendip Stone on 6L21, the 1323 aggregate train from Whatley Quarry to Dagenham Dock.

Each inlet tube feeds a double Pelton turbine which drives two generators. The generators are direct current adapted to the electrochemical fertiliser plans the power station was built to feed with power.
