Direct Rail Services or DRS is a UK freight operating company which was in 1995 created by British Nuclear Fuels Limited with 5 class 20s. As it got more locomotives and work, it ownership was then transferred to the Nuclear Decommissioning  Authority in April 2005

Carnforth Steamtown was one of the main museum site in the UK till around 1997. The major features of the site is its ash plant and the Coaling tower.

These Open days were stopped in 1997 because of commercial activity and the amount of carriages and engines on the site.

The Ash Plant and the Coaling Tower are in a poor state of repair and never been looked at since 1997. The Ash Plant and the Coaling Tower must be saved. Why are these not Grade One listed? These are part of our history.
