Thamesport to Colnbrook aviation fuel trains in full flow

Channel: CambriaJunction
Player
Description
This service is now running regularly, with a return trip once or twice per day, conveying aviation fuel from Thamesport on the Isle of Grain to Colnbrook for use at Heathrow Airport. The loaded trip gives the Freightliner 66/6s some work to do as they climb the incline towards Cambria Junction. At present there are quite often two of them on the front; I'm not sure exactly why. Filmed in November/December 2018.
