Crewe-Valley Flasks.

3rd July 2009

A new collection specifically about these unique trains which are particularly interesting because of the variety of motive power and the varying number of flasks in the consist.

I have never figured out why so many people are so paranoid about these trains carrying low level radioactive waste for recycling. Greenpeace do NOT help their cause by putting the fear of God into people!! What worries me are the HGVs carrying all sorts of LETHAL loads on our roads, and driven by foreign drivers who can't even speak English and drive dangerously. Rant now over Enjoy the pictures.

As the trains only run about 2-3 times a week, I can only take photos when work allows. I hope to get some nice pics along the coast given time.
