Asfordby 1995

Coal train loading at Asfordby Colliery


2-of-3) A train being loaded with coal at Asfordby Coal Mine with a Cl-58 locomotive on the rear, 1995.

Although the first production face had only just come on line, and the construction work was still taking place, the mine closed in 1997 due to geological problems. This site is now the Asfordby Test Centre of Serco, with workshops and facilities for servicing vehicles using the adjacent Old Dalby Test Track.
