'Jumbo' trains with Coal going from Redcar to Scunthorpe replacing the Immingham to Scunthorpe trains now bau, Ore to follow, of course had an Ore run week before last, Tug in charge of course.

So, just to summarise. Are there 1 or 2 of these Jumbo Coal trains from Redcar to Scunny and are they going to permanently replace the flow from Immingham to Scunny??

Also the Ore trains, will they run to Scunny from Immy or Redcar??

And these are going to run alongside the Slag flow already in operation??

Looks like a Redcar revival is on the cards

Scunthorpe coals and ores back in the Hands of DB cargo from today - STP paths from scunthorpe to Immingham bulk terminal and Immingham to Stanton

Interesting that the new DB train schedules are using 'Santon' as the destination again;
FHH went for the more prosaic "Scunthorpe Ore Plant"
