I think they're coal hoppers, rather than grain wagons.
Phill Dyson

Yes they are, but not sure if they are used for coal, do they carry anything else ?

Not to my knowledge. Having said that, I'm not sure who's using them these days, as Fastline are long gone.Yes they are, but not sure if they are used for coal, do they carry anything else ?

Look like 100T bogie hoppers to me, normally used for coal but can be used for other aggregates, FHH uses some of their coal stock to bring ballast and aggregates to Barham locally, but generally speaking they stick to the same cargo flows.
Fastline hoppers went to GBRf and one flow is Biomass fuel (Wood pellets), current I cant find any GBRf services around Wakefield just yet to confirm what might be in there.
Kindest
Addendum
Do you by chance live anywhere near Wrenthorpe? there's a train from Drax to there with GBRf, part of a Tyne Dock to the power stations in that area flow, sometimes Drax, sometimes West Burton or Ferrybridge.

It was a black 5 again this morning but of more interest was the first coach after the tender which was one of the LMS inspections saloons in Maroon (like the ones that Mike recently posted in the for sale section)

Hi Rob

Cheers Phill
Hi Phil,
if it is that one, then it is one of the three built at Swindon in 1962 - the others being 508 & 9 (508 is now the Track Inspection Saloon fitted with the angled insets either side) and which are to be the subjects for Easybuild's forthcoming Inspection Saloon. (Anorak mode off)
I'm already saving my pennies.
cheers
Mike
