So this week got busy Tuesday's 0C23 was the light engine move from Sellafield to the dock with 68 003 Astute and 68 004 Rapid

In the intervening period 6C51 Sellafield to Heysham power station passes Kirkby in Furness (Lidgate UWC) top and tailed with 68 001 Evolution and 68 016 Fearless

I caught the return Barrow-Sellafield working 7X24 at Kirkby in Furness where in a sweeping panorama you can film a train all the way from Sandside, through Kirkby Station and follow it nearly continously all the way across the Estuary to Green Road and Millom.
Two loaded KXA-Cs with one empty destined fof Sellafield

And later on 6C52 Heysham P.S to Sellafield passed through Askam

Two days later 68 002 Intrepid and 68 005 Defiant returned to the dock with three KXA-Cs, two loaded with adaptor frames. Seen at Barrow, Devonshire Road Bridge. Sadly the undergrowth is starting to get a bit high again here. The embankment I'm stood on is the retaining wall for the Ormsgill Reservoir which used to serve the giant Barrow Steelworks. In the background is the remains of the Slag bank

With five flasks loaded 7X24 Barrow M.T to Sellafield rumbles through Askam in Furness. The down platform was bouncing under my feet as it passed!
