Looks like the Rowntrees chocolate trip from Foss Island to Dringhouses yard. Rather a lot of choccy there !!!

 

I think there are only two loaded wagons, the LWB ones in the middle which contain highly volatile 'popping candy', the rest are just barrier wagons to protect the load in case of an incident....

In the early evening on 11th June 2024, still going strong and it's good to see and hear them out on the mainline, 20189 and 20142 head west along the Calder Valley towards Brighouse, working as 0Z22 from Barrow Hill Locomotive Inspection Point to Castleton Hopwood Ground frame, which is the boundary between Network Rail and the East Lancashire Railway.

The reason for 20189 and 20142 'SIR JOHN BETJEMAN' putting in an appearance yesterday in West Yorkshire became evident when the pair worked back today, this time via Huddersfield, with 0Z23, Castleton Hopwood Ground Frame to Grosmont North Yorkshire Moors...

Meant to add it looks like its run around its train top n tailed brake vans . The only location not direct from the West London would be Nine Elms / Vauxhall and Waterloo

Probably a Stonebridge Park crew going back to Willesden via Kenny O.
