A pair of class 325 units, ably assisted by 08629, starts their 310 mile journey from Royal Mail's 'Midlands Super Hub' at Daventry to Shieldmuir in Glasgow.
Royal Mail owns and utilises class 325 electric multiple units, while they are operated on the national network by DB Cargo.
This location, which is part of the Daventry International Railfreight Terminal phase 3 (DIRFT3) development, started operations in August 2023.
While the complex is connected to the electrified West Coast Mainline, the various terminals within DIRFT are not electrified. Consequently, the Royal Mail traffic is dragged the short distance from the mainline exchange sidings by the class 08 seen here.
In July 2024 Royal Mail announced they will end operation of the class 325s in October 2024. While Royal Mail have been precise in their announcement, the door remains open for them to use rail again in the future.
There is a certain irony that while the year old mail terminal and the nearly 30 year old mail units are shortly to cease work, the 65 year old class 08 will continue to be busy within the Daventry freight complex.
The 1S05 15.34 departure to Shieldmuir Mail Terminal in Glasgow in what should be the final month of these services.
The vacant container terminal should soon be occupied by Malcolm Logistics according to one of the staff we spoke to.
The 1M36 08.34 Royal Mail service from Glasgow Shieldmoor has just arrived, and is being taken to the unloading area at the RM Super Hub by the shunter.
66423 and 88002 are in the headshunt, 66131 has recently arrived with the 6M45 water train from Dollands Moor.
I noticed on RTT on June 4th that the daily Margam to Corby steel train was coming not from South Wales, but Tees Yard near Middlesbrough.
In looking at this working most days for the past 20 years or so, I'd never seen this happen before. Interestingly, it was shown as 'aggregates' and not the usual 'metals'. Unfortunately domestic matters prevented me from seeing it.
My initial hunch was that some coils had been moved from the Hartlepool pipe mill to Tees Yard, before moving on south. I checked the details on 6V92, the empties working, and sure enough that had gone to Margam, but unusually ran late whereas if not at booked time this service often runs early.
On June 6th I noticed that this was an STP for the following day, so decided to photograph the train. Also, I noticed an item on the BBC website that mentioned how a new 'super hub' was going to be built on the vacant land that had been the result of a modernisation project that has been taking place during the last couple of years at Corby Steelworks. Could some aggregates be needed for this work? If so, surely they would come from one of the quarries in the Peak District, although some stone does arrive at Redcar ore terminal these days.
Three potential possibilities then
-coils from the north east, probably Hartlepool, possibly Lackenby
-aggregates
-a mixed train
New sidings were laid a couple of years back to allow scrap steel from the building work to be taken back to South Wales, so unloading could have taken place there. My thoughts however were that the foundations of the steelworks would have been good enough to support the new buildings.
So, confirmation of where and why these coils came from Tees is sought!
66053 on Seaton Viaduct with the 6Z94 01.19 Tees Yard to Corby steel coils.
Around 45 coils, roughly 10 - 20 short of the usual load on 6M94 from Margam. Some of them look a bit rusty......
The 1M36 08.34 Royal Mail service from Glasgow Shieldmoor has just arrived, and will be taken to the unloading area at the Super Hub by the shunter.
The shed has brought in the 6M45 06.53 water train from Dollands Moor Sidings.
The electro diesel will soon leave with the 4L48 13.37 to Tilbury International.
At last my broadband has been fixed....I hope......apparently my modem was the cause. It's been replaced and so I'm now the proud owner of a 60meg 'Super Hub' :-)
I hope to catch up with you all ASAP...again :-)
Dedicated to my friend skantzman, for the inspiration :-)
Châtelet - Les Halles is a major commuter train hub in Paris. Together with the Métro stations Châtelet and Les Halles, to which it is directly connected, it forms a vast underground network, the largest underground station in the world. This super-hub connects 3 train lines and 5 metro lines, having 750000 passengers passing through each day and 120 trains in just 1 hour (at peak).

Another "Cactus" on the way, as N285AY departs the ramp area of Terminal 1.
Cactus used to be the call sign of America West which acquired US Airways in 2005. The choice of retaining the name was based on studies indicating that the US Airways name had better brand recognition worldwide than the America West name. Despite better name recognition, US Airways consistently ranks at the bottom of customer service surveys. US Airways has become a "discount" carrier compared with the remaining historic mainline companies (Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines) and has made decisions to transfer flights from larger capacity, super-hub airports like Pittsburgh International Airport to smaller, mid-sized airports with lower capacity like Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
With the proposed and controversial closure of four local ambulance stations, sights like this although reflecting already established practice will, I imagine, become more common. The stations are closing for various reasons and are due to be replaced by a super-hub (located at the north end of Portsea Island). In order to maintain response times over what is a large area, ambulances will hold or, if you like, loiter in yet to be decided locations. It is, as I mention above, not uncommon now for vehicles to await calls at diverse spots but I am not sure that what will become an unavoidable practice improves operating or working conditions for our valued ambulance and paramedic staff.

in one frenetic two hour session on the car park roof at Memphis airport I took more than 200 shots of more than 130 departing FedEx wide body jets. Parallel runways allow simultaneous departure of jets at 30 second intervals on the two northerly runways. Flights to the West coast and Asia use the left hand strip whilst those for Europe and the East Coast use the right hand strip. With more than 6 visible MD-11s in the air at one time and with queues of 5-6 heavy FedEx aircraft on each departure taxiway throughput the late afternoon, this has to be one of the aircraft photting highlights of my life, it's totally mental, incredibly loud, smells of Jet A1 all the time and is totally, unbelievably awesome! And they do it every day of the week.......

The new western concourse at King's Cross station, designed by John McAslan and Partners. The big metal roof is sited between King's Cross station of 1852 and St Pancras station, of 1868. The concourse is part of the £500m creation of a "transport super-hub", completed in time for the Olympics.
