We are still looking for individuals to help keep us informed about the movements of the various DRS nukiller waste flasks. So if do see any please let us know.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meanwhile here are a couple of reports of late.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

while on December 9th<\/sup> a flask or flasks were sent from Huntington to Sellafield.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cumbrian Community Rail<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Community Rail Cumbria (CRC) comprises the three accredited Community Rail lines in Cumbria which includes the Cumbrian Coast Line. That is the rail line which runs from Carlisle to Barrow, and includes Sellafield.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how the station is described upon their website: –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘ Sellafield station was opened in 1850 to serve a remote area of farms. The station is now a busy freight location, as much of the nuclear waste arising from the UK\u2019s decommissioning programme is carried by train here from the docks in Barrow-in-Furness or from rail-connected nuclear power stations elsewhere in the UK. The station marks the end of the single line section from Whitehaven, which is operated using the electric key token system.’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aims pf the CRC include:-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– To undertake a pro-active approach to those sections of the Cumbrian community disadvantaged by health, isolation or social deprivation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

&<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– To seek effective passenger and freight rail service improvements;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
