Does anyone know what the new freight flow is through Slough seems to be stainless steel tank wagons?

Seen last friday evening heading East and this pm heading West.

With the Oxford closure it looks like it will be good time for SWRS» (Slough and Windsor Railway Society - about) to have our annual barbeque!

Think I saw this go through Twyford this afternoon - I don't remember seeing the waggons before either.

I think it was this train: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H63775/2016/01/21/advanced
