Charter train at Harworth mine
A rare visit of a passenger train to Harworth mine. The train had started from Reading early that morning the highlight being the freight line into Harworth mine providing a very rare opportunity to visit Harworth by rail. Harworth mine is now mothballed, will it ever produce coal again?
