Re: UK Coal Lodge House

Bigkit, The tent is still going strong and it will be such a shame taking it down, served me well for the duration of the site :lol: There are parts of the site now that look like it hasn't even been touched they've been backfilling the last hole since March now and it won't be long at all that it w...

Re: UK Coal Lodge House

Hello all!! I know it's been a while since I have been active, but I do have some photo updates from the Lodge House site. These pictures cover around 6 months. I have been taking trips about once a month or so and I have picked the best pictures. The ones of the RH120-E were taken from the bridlewa...

Dave

Well that's what I was thinking. In fact, there are some photos that someone posted up on here a while back of that same RH loading the 789's at Orgreave.

Re: UK Coals minorca site pics

Phil, I managed to get down and I see what you mean about the crossing, it's gone! I followed the footpath all the way up to Swepstone Road and turned left, heading back towards Bosworth Road in hope of seeing something. I could always hear the engines of the RH from the road. In the end I managed t...

Re: UK Coal Lodge House

That particular RH120-C you have pointed out came from the Orgreave site in Yorkshire. Had another visit down there on Monday and there was only that RH120-C operating. The other was parked and the E was no where to be seen. Won't be long at all until they are finished. I have some more pictures tha...

Re: UK Coals minorca site pics

Makes sense Phil, thanks for that, I'm off down there on Monday around midday so I will have the rest of the day to have a walk round and see what's what. I'll make a note of the roads to get to.

UK Coal Lodge House

Hello all, I visited the Lodge House site in Derbyshire this week and it looks as though they are extracting the last of the coal and are filling in the last cut with overburden from a temporary storage pile. Also looks like the big kit won't be too far away from packing up. Only a few weeks of site...

Re: UK Coals minorca site pics

Phil,

Great Pictures there :thumbup: I'm heading down there with a bit of luck this month in hope to get some shots, I was wondering how would I get to that crossing? Is there a street or road that I can get access to it from? I am not from the area but I am only a 40 minute drive away.

Regards
