Are the tanks that are heading to Eastriggs MOD going into storage there?

@@pn112upfast No the railway operator has lost the contract to deliver the bitumen which is now being delivered via road. The tankers in the video are going to be cleared out at Preston.

@Ashworth-Media got 56 049 at Settle on its way to Eastriggs with a rake of Bitumen tanks. Wonder if it dropped off some tanks then picked up more at Ribble Rail exchange sidings?

@@pn112upfast From the information that I know, the tanks in this train where taken to Ribble Rail Preston to be steam cleaned out, I have no knowledge of the tanks coming from Eastriggs.
