The Branch Line Society's "Branch Line News" magazine report in their issue of 18th June that:
"A test train of bottom unloading sand wagons from Middleton Towers arrived, that morning, returning to Arpley Sidings at 13.30.
The new private siding branches off at the start (Map Ref:- SJ4758 7560) of the retained but Out of Use branch to 'CF Fertilisers' (previously Keimira, UK and originally Shellstar Fertilisers).
The new single line runs northwest moving away from the Down Hooton Line then west paralleling it, becoming twin track in the terminal.
It ends just before an internal road at the glass works.
The rail terminal, originally due to open to goods traffic in November 2011, was a planning consent requirement when Quinn Glass obtained retrospective permission in 2009 for the plant (actually constructed in 2005)."
The signalling was completed earlier this year and NCRUG have been waiting patiently for traffic to commence - lets us hope it begins soon!
