The New Order
Freightliner reorganised its Mendip stone workings in December 2023, discontinuing some long standing workings and introducing several new ones. Almost everything was retimed and given a new reporting number. One of the new trains is an 09:06 from Wembley Yard to Merehead Quarry that seems to run once or twice a week. 59206 led 6V31 alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal at Crofton on 10 January 2024.
