The opening 47 on TEA tank wagons avoiding the station is 7F28 Whittington to Stanlow empty tanks. I was on the job 2nd & 28th April unfortunately not the 14th as I was on leave.

Sidings at Whittington (or Babbinswood as we called it) were only finally removed recently to. The oil depot having just paved over where they were. Pass the depot several times a week on the cement trains.
