Lost Railfreight 40009, one of the pilot scheme EE Type 4s, takes nine hoppers of household coal on the Down Slow at Skew Bridge Junction, heading for Deepdale Coal Concentration Depot on 20th June 1980. The depot was accessed from the remaining stub of the Longridge branch (See image 20964) but closed in 1994. The much reduced domestic solid fuel market is all road served now. #COP26
