Some years ago HM had the Mostyn Dock Traffic.
We used to take some 45 tonner tanks to Mostyn Docks, on a regular basis and steel girders.
The route was from HM/Huddersield/ Stalybridge/Guide Bridge/Stockport/Northwhich/Chester and Mostyn.
At the dock they had thier own little loco for the shunting.
We signed on at 04:03hrs and off at around 1300.
On the way back the sun was in your face all the way back.
The new gas power station was being built at this time.
