Description

66024 works 6O32 Margam to Dollands Moor on 10 April 2014 hauling 21 loaded IHA bogie steel coil carrier wagons. Identities for all 21 IHA bogie steel coil carrier wagons in order (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/13775309594/in/photostream/">www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/13775309594/in/photost...</a>). Chris Higham also photographed it earlier on route at Highworth Junction (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/the37402bontybermo/13764587684/in/photolist-mZfcUp-mZh4BQ-mZfdFM-mZfmNX-mZh8XJ-mEHb2C-mpkQPa-mp5ttL-mYk7nj-mSf3oy-mRMP9u-mBWxk1-ms9NDT-mn7B1r-mmBhig-mmC8Mz-mmDjPJ-meSErA-meRC6K-m9suVa-jw9MCr-jnmcak-j3jV2c-iXfDHL-iJTQRx-iGVtAn-iFCRQz-kWNKYX-kQk85s-kvrSLY-kvqdmx-kvq2zp-kvqaGz-kvq5vx-kvpDgr-kvs69o-kvqfQF-kv1Vm7-9oD4zq-jCYNCc-jd8j2W-j4Ruvc-iXcJjh-iTZ848-iU1kvD-iMdhdf-iJaDa1-iAxun5-iya83r-iu71Yw">www.flickr.com/photos/the37402bontybermo/13764587684/in/p...</a>). A similar set of wagons was photographed by Tarek Marouane at La Chapell D'Armentieres France returning to the UK from Maubeuge being hauled by class 66 number 062 on 5 April 2014 (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/118798932@N04/13775639925/">www.flickr.com/photos/118798932@N04/13775639925/</a>).

The steel flow from South Wales to Maubeuge (France) and to Broekman (Holland) stopped running through the Channel tunnel at the end of November 2015. The flow to Maubeuge was cancelled as the cold mill which produced this material was mothballed as part of the Tata Steel strip downsizing programme. Instead Maubeuge is supplied from Tata Steels Limuiden plant (Holland). 2 grades of steel were also supplied by Tata Steel to Broekman Group to make oil drums. With one grade being sourced from elsewhere the remaining 700 tonnes per week of the second grade was not sufficient to run a block train.
