Bescot holding Sdgs in 1986. Today it's the VQ(Virtual Quarry). This was the typical scene as you passed Bescot on the M6 motorway with rows of Cl.20s stabled awaiting there next turns of duty. This photograph was taken in the field between the railway & the M6 motorway, a short walk from Bescot Stadium station.

58001 seen here prior to going through the coal discharge plant at Northfleet BCI with its loaded MGR train 7O85 SX MGR Grimethorpe Colliery - Northfleet BCI. This was the first train to come from Grimethorpe Colliery. Originally the train came from Silverhill Colliery & conveyed up to 45 loaded MGR wagons, whereas Grimethorpe Colliery could only load 36 MGRs. This was the only time ever I went through the coal discharge plant without stopping once from start to finish. That all depended on whether the conveyor belts taking the coal away were all working. Photo taken in the summer of 1987.
