70002 was working the Elllesmere Port-Fiddlers Ferry circuit yesterday. Coal trains were suspended for about 3 weeks during the power stations annual maintenance shutdown.

The oil trains from Ellesmere Port (Stanlow Refinery) stopped about 15 years ago. For a while there was a solitary LPG working from Humber Refinery to Stanlow but that also stopped about 5 years ago.
