DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE., Location : Kingmoor Yard Up Departures Sidings., Date : 31/05/2013., Type : Bogie Aggregate Hopper Wagon., Weight : 87.9 t GLW / 21.7 t Tare., Number : RMC 13706., Number Series : RMC 13700 to RMC 13712 (ex HALL 13700 to HALL 13712)., Builder : 1984 by Standard Wagon Co., Heywood Works., TOPS Code : JGA (originally PHA)., Design Code : JG009A., , ADDITIONAL NOTES., This former RMC bogie aggregate hopper has seen several owners since being built. It started life with Hall Aggregate Ltd working gravel trains from Newhaven to Tolworth and Crawley. After RMC took over the business the traffic ceased but the wagons were recoded with the RMC prefix and migrated north to join the existing RMC hopper fleet working out of Peak Forest Quarry in Derbyshire. In recent years RMC's haulier EWS bought the hopper fleet in an effort to prevent other freight companies taking the work and they have since passed to DB Schenker who bought out EWS. The Hall Aggregate livery was orange with a wide white band along the barrel side this can just be made out under the coat of orange applied by RMC when they moved the white band to the barrel top., , The wagon seen above had been detached with a defect from the irregular Shap Blue Quarry (Shap Summit) to Washwood Heath stone terminal working which conveys 10mm granite chippings for the road building industry.
