It would be great if someone can confirm it's loaded. The path for the empties to be taken to Immingham for loading this morning was cancelled, and I can't see anything that ran in its place over the weekend.

It's working, but only just! Have just seen 6M61 arrive with today's (Wed's) consignment. Here's a photo I took of it. 01May2024. Ratcliffe Jct. 'Shed' Class 66 66787 (Ex 66184). [P1190092] by Ray Honke, on Flickr

That was correct. The difference today is the train came from Immingham HIT, and returned to Barnetby. There are rumours that there will be more trains from Immingham HIT to Ratcliffe. I live in hope. Rob McRorie posted this photo on Flickr of today's 6M61 - clearly showing it was loaded...

Is this the last coal train? Already underway today (Mon 29Apr2024): 6M61 0800 Immingham-Ratcliffe (arr 11:17) Empties leaving Ratcliffe as 4E87 1358 Ratcliffe-Barnetby

Thanks for the information. Since 2018 I've tried to get one photo of a fully-laden coal train arriving at a working power station, but have failed miserably! I went to Ratcliffe power station on 18Jan as a consolation, just to get some photos of it still working (it was wall to wall blue skies...

6M61 (arr Ratcliffe at 11:12) also ran from Immingham on 1st Jan, and Doncaster Decoy on 22nd Jan and 5th Feb. I assume there's been a sufficient stockpile at Ratcliffe to keep the power station going since then.

Here is my shot of 'Champion' going home after a successful hard days work. Sun 14 Apr 2024 at 20:03. Western Class 52 No D1015 WESTERN CHAMPION passes quickly through Kings Norton station on the Birmingham Crosscity line. by Ray Honke, on Flickr

I use the paid-for version of Railcam all the time when out and about and at home. Allocations are added by other users (occasionally by me), and there is at least two weeks-worth of train history. At home seeing the trains on the various webcams before going out to get photos can be a real...

It is. A spot I've never tried before. With April here, and the 730's about to start up on the Cross City line, I thought I'd give an update. Of course, technically the 730's have been plying the Crosscity line between New St and Aston for the last few weeks. Report for Mon 01Apr2024...

323203 was dragged back to Soho this afternoon. 30Mar2024. Small Heath. EE Class 20 20142 323203 20189 (Ex D8142, D8189). [P1180972] by Ray Honke, on Flickr

Here is 323203 being dragged through the splendour of New St. 28Mar2024. Birmingham New St. EE Class 20 20189 323203 (Ex D8189). [P1180965] by Ray Honke, on Flickr

I take it your info is from railway data - I can't believe you saw all these from somewhere - google earth isn't that good yet! The 5T91/5J65 Northampton working is unusual. I see that these two paths can be used M-F, but aren't used all that often. Is it route learning for ROG crew ready for...

323243 was dragged back to Soho yesterday, so perhaps it will be out soon. 16Mar2024. Birmingham New St. EE Class 37 37884 323243 (Ex D6883). [P1180846] by Ray Honke, on Flickr

I hope you saw 202, as it was out later with 241. 1710285042 Anyone know when 214 came back to Soho from Wolverton?

Thanks for the reply. It must have been terrible for the person who discovered the body and for the police who would have to tell the victim's family or friends. As to the discussion about how quickly the railway should be re-opened, it might be best to have that at some other time.

The Sutton Park line from Walsall to Water Orton is a freight only line and for the last few days trains have been diverted away from it. Today (Mon) the following are going via Birmingham New St, all of which would have used the SP line. 6D44 NewSt 12:02 ??? 6G99 NewSt 12:24 66720 6V84 NewSt...
