Weardale Coal Movements

We have had the first coal train from Weardale this week, it was a Colas 66 moving a trial movement. But I missed it. Is there anyone out there with proposed future timetable please.

I never knew about this. It is great that preserved railways can be used to keep industry moving!

I have heard rumours that the coal movements has/is a success with UK coal, and they are considering moving more coal trains from Wolsingham. It is also rumoured that stone may be transported out of Weardale in the future.
I have attached a photograph of a 66 at Shildon
