On a murky 10th February 2023, GBRf Class 66/7 No. 66720 Wascosa heads away from Hellifield with the 07.54 Rylstone Quarry - Leyland Enterprise Sidings loaded box wagons. This new flow operates from Rylstone via Blea Moor (run round), Hellifield, Blackburn to Wigan Springs Branch (run round) to access the sidings at Leyland from the south. The train had departed 97 minutes late from Rylstone but elimination of the pathing stops at Blea Moor and Hellifield ensured an on time arrival at Springs Branch.
