I am only just getting into Realtime Trains, but what is this?

STP pass Doncaster Royal Mail Terml 652C ZZ Port Clarence (Gbrf) 1902½ 1902


Is it a regular working? How much other traffic works the branch into or out of the old ICI plants at Billingham? :(

Also don't flats get dropped off near Belasis Lane signal box in the old yard opposite for collection. i know there has been a bit of work on the site at belasis Lane don't know whats going on though.

Last time I heard it wasn't seeing much use as the Phillips plant was either being closed or stopped sending freight by rail. This was a few years ago now, and certainly the last time I went through Billingham the tracks from Norton were rusty.

800 tonnes is just the timing load, it doesnt mean it will be 800 tonnes, it could be anything from 1 empty wagon up to 800 tonnes.

cheers 455driver i didn't know that, you learn something new everyday. funny thing is its been given a 20minute slot from Billingham Jn(Billingham SB) to Belasis Lane SB a distance of no more than a mile and a half. which will in reality take all of ooh 5 mins. i remember 20's 37's 47's and 56's bombing up and down there whan i was a kid.i hope someone gets a shot of it. currently 3L out of York.
