Berkeley flask


DRS Class 37s 37688 + 37087 drop down from Aldridge to Ryecroft Jcn earlier this afternoon, with a single nuclear waste flask running from Berkeley Power Station (Glos.) to Crewe, the first time the service has run this year.

A 20 mph "slack" was imposed on the opposite (up) line approaching Aldridge this morning, presumably due to the poor condition of the track. The normal line speed on the Sutton Park line is currently 45 mph, though I have timed a few trains at speeds approaching 60 mph in certain sections !
