Always good news to hear of new traffic. Any idea what they are loading and where it is going?

Loading coal out off silo 2 due to a stacker breaking down at portbury and it being put in a differant place. They are loading for Rugley. I'm guessing it will only be class 66 locos as the 70's may throw the magic ryr on the silos out of sync as they havent been through there yet.

Is it likely to become a permanent working, or will Portbury kit get repaired?
