Hi,
I have recently seen a Cab Ride video on Youtube which featured an aggregates train from Tunstead to "Barham FL" - as titled by the author. Try as I might I cannot find any reference to "Barham FL" anywhere. I did email the author to ask where this is but to date have not received a reply. Can someone enlighten me please?

Many thanks

Moony

There’s another location on RTT for “Barham FHH“ that would fit with Freightliner Heavy Haul. AIUI they don’t necessarily plan services using the exact location name.

Barham is the aggregate sidings between Claydon (Ipswich) and Needham Market on the GEML. FL is indeed Freightlner and is used as shorthand instead of using the actual stanox (location) code. If it were a DB train it would be Barham DB for example.

Further to 66701's reply, here is the exact location on Google Maps:



...and a nice shot I found on Flickr from 2018:

AIUI each FOC should have it's own TIPLOC at each location for administrative purposes. Although I think there are, as ever, several exceptions - it may depend quite heavily on the precise ownership boundaries and arrangements.

Can you provide a link to the YouTube video, please? I've tried searching for it to no avail. Thanks in advance.
