Winfrith - Sellafield nuclear waste flow

[Western Sunset]

There were only two loaded wagons on this train today. Was this train the last of this current traffic flow?

I'm surprised there's any fuel still there. Maybe the last vestiges of SGHWR? Unless it isn't fuel but just general irradiated bric-a-brac...

Think it was irradiated sludge/mud or such like...

Probably drums of encapsulated sludge. Will no doubt be going to store somewhere at Sellafield. GDF disposal just keeps looking further and further away...

Aren’t nuclear trains always very short?

I think these low level waste trains normally ran with 10 wagons, there's a picture of 68017 on Flickr from the beginning of June with 8 on

The ones with fuel are, the ones with low-level waste can be longer.

Thanks both.
