History
Yeoman Bogie Hopper Wagon. The last loaded service formed of the hoppers ran on 28th December 1997 with a return empty train running on the 30th. After this trains used the younger PGAs formerly operated by ARC and Foster Yeoman and put back into service by CAIB. Wagons were laid up at both Tunstead and Northwich ends until 36 were dispatched for scrap by rail in June 1998. However, Brunner Mond still used the wagons internally at both the Lostock and Winnington works. Further wagons were sent for scrapping at the end of 1999 from Northwich. Brunner Mond successfully received a Freight Facilities Grant from the Government towards the cost of purchasing new wagons and updating the discharging facilities at Northwich. The PGAs will then be withdrawn from the services having caused problems during their tenure on the route.
