bechers 641's are at steadsburn along with 3 D9H's, his 637's are still at shotton undergoing minor repairs, they are due to start shortly stripping at shotton, the stobswood backfill should be complete by early next year, trucks will be moved from stobswood to potland burn downsizing the fleet slightly.

I know of only 2 site's in the UK using 789's - Banks have 2 at Delhi and UK coal have some 89's at Steadsburn/West Chevington OCCS. :thumbs_up:

Will be interested to know when the Ashington/Tow Law sites start up, could people keep updating this site about progress as i'm sure there are a few people who would be interested in taking some photos of the Beechers kit etc! :thumbs_up:

Shame Beeches 657's are not doing the stripping! :(

Regards

[quote="
We got 3 789,s from the UK back in 96. Came in fully dressed on the boat to Sydney. 9ZC s/n if i remember correct, how many sites in the UK had 89,s?[/quote]


Gavin,
These were possibly the three machines which Coal Contractors owned and worked at the Roughcastle site in Scotland. Must have been around that time that they were shipped out....but never did find out where they went.

As far as sites with 789's
Coal Contractors, Roughcastle, Scotland.
Taylor Woodrow, Chester House, England. ??
Crouch, Stobswood, England.
Budge, West Chevington, UK Coal, Maidens Hall, England.
Banks, Pegswood, Delhi, England.
