Rail magazine reported this a month ago. Typical BBC, on the ball as usual. The cynic in me says they must have been short of news that day!

You just can't beat a bit of clag, especially when it's coming from a couple of Napier Deltic engines. She came through Tonbridge a few years ago while I was on a PNB. Was worth breaking the PN for to watch her come through from a standing start outside where a wrong route had been taken.

I thought the smelting plant at Fort William was hydro-electric powered, with a reservoir on the slopes of Ben Nevis.

AndyG said:I thought the smelting plant at Fort William was hydro-electric powered, with a reservoir on the slopes of Ben Nevis.It is, but the plant at Lynemouth where RSG did most of it's work was built on top of one of the biggest deep coal mines in Northumberland with a direct conveyor belt feed from the pit to the power station. At the latter end of the pit's life, they were working several miles out from the coast under the North Sea. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |
