I don't know what DRS's idea was but I think it was for a wider spread of freight not just quarry traffic. Freight paths are getting more difficult to find and it might have been an idea to try and get round that.
The way we did the trip to Liverpool was to get a day return from Derby to Crewe and then another one from Crewe to Liverpool. It was considerably cheaper than the day return Derby to Liverpool. It was suggested to us by the lady in the ticket office at Derby!
