GBRf Class 60s no longer going to Rylstone tilcon (Swinden Quarry)

[NorthYorkshire]

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows why the class 60s have stopped doing the runs to Rylstone Tilcon and if they’ll start again.
Most of the 60s seem to be doing drax runs instead like they used to, Is this only temporary?
Any information would be beneficial.
Thanks

Pretty sure the 60/66s on the Rylstone and Arcow flows are common user, I saw 021 in Arcow last week and 047 went to Ribblehead today, although this tends to be a Tuebrook job. I'm sure they will work to Rylstone again as and when. The 60s on the Drax from the NE have moved from the Liverpool flows which are all 66s now. All this is purely from my own observations. If anybody knows why the 60s were shifted from the Liverpool flows to the NE I would be interested to hear, also if any flows are specifically diagrammed 60s.

Anything to do with the Bridge works at Castleton?

There is still a 60 at Tuebrook which works the Shap to Ashton stone. 60002 has just replaced 60047.

Bit of a tugfest today, 047 and 085 into Rylstone and 056 into Arkow.

I suspect that will continue as GBRf will soon need to free up 66s to cover Autumn RHTT diagrams
which will start running soon.
