Does the nuclear train still run through birmingham?

Question

it used to I think.. it was big and silver with a nuclear symbol on the side. probably

Answer 1

yes but i think it must have a leak because the locals are so ugly

Answer 2

The one from Dungeness in Kent to Seascale does.

Answer 3

Possibly - Though there are various routes nationwide they are swapped regularly with the actual route taken only decided at the last minute. Times are equally random and depend on what slots are available by the chosen route.

The Nuclear trains are run by Direct Rail Services - a state owned freight company formed for these working. Usually they have 1 or 2 flasks pulled by two locomotives - so if you see a very overpowered frieght with one or two heavy duty trucks thats a nuclear train.

BTW Those flasks are immensly strong, in testing they drove a remotely controlled train into one at 100mph and the flask survived with a just dent to one corner - there was still about 2ft of lead and steel to stop a breach

Answer 4

Only if it's diverted via Brum, and then it'd never pass through Birmingham New Street, more likely to go via Aston - Bescot -Bushbury - Stafford etc....

Out of interest, I saw it at Stafford a few weeks back en route to Cumbria (Sellafield)

It's best being on the rail than anywhere else, as it's the safest way to transport the material, rather than on the road. The "Nuclear Flasks" are almost indestructable. This train is a safe as can possibly be. People who try to stop this train(or any other trains carrying waste) need a serious wake up call, as no good will come of there actions.

Answer 5

Yes.

They are still trying to fins a way to stop it.

Answer 6

it did untill someone pinched the track for scrap metal.

Answer 7

This stuff doesn't get transported by magic.
