File:66154 Margam to Dollands Moor 6O32 (then to Rotterdam Botlek for Broekman Group, the Netherlands or to Myriad in Maubeuge France) (18352647185).jpg

Wagons being hauled included 37 84 4667 058-0, 37 84 4667 198-4, 37 84 4667 187-7, 37 84 4667 005-1, 37 84 4667 068-9, 37 84 4667 078-8 and 37 84 4667 055-6.

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.
