  • In WW2 the treasures from the National Gallery were stored in an underground bunker for protection when bombs began to fall on London.
    This secret subterranean compound is 60 - 90 meters beneath the Breedon Welsh Slate quarries.
    Daniel investigates the bunker, history, millions of pounds of Plant and Machinery, the art of “Master Slate Splitting”, the production of slate products and the world's fastest zip line!
    All while a train is being loaded with material destined for the Ashville yard

    I learned about the storing of the artwork as part of my job, I was one of many that had dealings with the national art collection which included a lot of the works of art that were put down in those bunkers. You know they dug out and built the infrastructure in less than a year, shame that everything takes so long these days. Brilliant that you're working with the world famous slate quarry, have you thought about dealing in roof slates as well, if you did you'd remove even more road traffic. Yet again a quality bit of filming that was also very educational. 👍

Not only because the Nth Wales slate industry is obviously alive and kicking but the huge amount of detail covered in the video about the many steps taken to process the slate to prepare it for market. I love this sort of educational stuff your team produces Daniel, and how your involvement as a customer is only possible because of your use of Railfreight.
