Nuneaton or tamworth?

[taxzilla]

Hello folks - I apologise if this query is in the wrong forum but can anyone tell me which way the colas steel train is likely to go tomorrow? (weds 27th) I have a day off work to go out and can't decide between Nuneaton or tamworth - is there anything unusual/interesting about tomorrow, and if so, where?!

Thanks in advance, Dave.

It tends to pass Nuneaton, I haven't heard anything about it taking Tamworth route tommorow.
I believe that there is nothing out of the ordinary, although the 56s coukd bring the BARS scrap train back from Cardiff Tidal tommorow although it this stage about what when it will return and what will be on it.
Hope this helps, Sam

thanks for that - although when you talk about the BARs 56's do you mean going through tamworth or nuneaton?

Sorr, I forgot to add that it would be at Tamworth.
Thanks, Sam

There is little to choose between Nuneaton and Tamworth quantity wise,
but Nuneaton just pips Tamworth in the late afternoon (3pm to 5pm)

The only problem with freight at Nuneaton is less variety - you can see
a lot more steel, scrap, oil tanks, coal trains, etc. at Tamworth, whereas
Nuneaton is mostly intermodal traffic.
