4 hours spent at Chesterfield, at the Tapton footbridge. An adequate amount of freight of different kinds, but no locomotives unfamiliar to the Eastleigh - Southampton area.
Starting here with a decreasingly rare flow of coal, operated by GBRf, running from Immingham to Ratcliffe Power Station, currently slated for closure in September 2024.

The wagons were former EWS / DB Cargo HTA built by Thrall Europa in 2001-02, many of which have already been disposed of with the reduction in coal consumption. The last in the formation was 310162.
