During the days of Arriva Trains Northern I remember a Newcastle to York via Durham Coast and Middlesbrough, which was normally operated by a Pacer. Travelling down the ECML at 75mph with a 225 blasting was quite something when sitting near the doors! Edit - Photo of the service leaving...

That would be a surprise. 60063 was currently under going overhaul and has been inside Toton for near 2 years, that would of been first on the list to complete if the claims were true, surely?

The steel for AV Dawson’s is for Nissan and it comes from Margam, generally runs into Middlesbrough on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. This week it’s ran today and it’s running tomorrow https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H01206/2024-03-07/detailed The Trostre traffic is coil on...

I passed both coaches heading up the A1 near Wetherby about 14.30 today, assumed both must of been heading to Kilmarnock.

If this was for the Groundstaff job at Teesport, I believe this has been filled internally

I boarded the 12.36 train at Nunthorpe along with about 40 others, mostly going to the football. One thing I noted was the 5 or so passengers waiting at Gypsy Lane as we sailed passed…….

DB Cargo have HGV drivers out of Toton and delivery to various outstations across the UK.

A coal train from Redcar has been running for the last few months, in fact it’s ran today and will depart this evening back to Tees Yard https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R43803/2023-09-12/detailed Previous to that it was coming via road.

It’s still running, just not as much. Booked to run Tuesday and Wednesday from Tees Dock (so Wednesday and Thursday arrival) into Newbiggin next week.

66013 took the train in on Tuesday with 66035 working yesterday. That is correct, two trains trial for coal imported via Redcar which currently goes via road.

This one was on the outskirts of Middlesbrough, not sure what era it is from but it disappeared in July time 2021, after not seen a bus for a number of years. https://maps.app.goo.gl/C7aS48Vya7nKn7MW6?g_st=ic

There is a remaining TTA wagon dumped in the old exchange sidings at former ICI Wilton. Last used in 1990 apparently.

The interviews are this week, 11 people been interviewed for 2 jobs.

The Tees (ex Scunthorpe) to Dalzell runs normally once per week. It should be running Thursday this week, it can run on twice a week if the demand requires.

If I owned any carriages or wagons, the best place in my opinion would be an industrial site. Most are very secure and have lots of redundant sidings. In the North East I can think of: Sunderland Docks Hartlepool Pipe Mills Lackenby 4 Grid and Loco Sheds (Northern we’re looking at a few years...

Just looked at the advert, says mobile. However FL currently only have 1 train in the area that is the daily Felixstowe to Tees Dock and 3 ground staff cover this. I suspect a lot of the work will be at Tyne Yard on the ballast work or it could be on the new work out of Hartlepool (if it ever...

That was Longbeck, the sign was removed about 4 years ago. Castleton Moor on the Esk Valley still has a Regional Railways logo on a gate near the main road.

144017 is doing a few night tours around Scunthorpe steel works, next one is 20th of November. Details here - https://www.afrps.co.uk/
