IHA bogie covered steel coil carrier wagons on 23 September 2014 transporting steel from Tata Steel Limited's Port Talbot steelworks to Dollands Moor ultimately destined for Broekman Group in Rotterdam or Myriad in Maubeuge France via Calais Fréthun (for a map of the route taken <a href=" https://www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/14092887923/ ">click here</a>). For just over half the year 6O32 is timetabled to reach here in the twilight or dark so cant be photographed easily but Chalkie got a better photo of it earlier on route at <a href=" https://www.flickr.com/photos/63924222@N06/15145125700/ ">Chipping Sodbury</a> waiting in a loop. From Dollands Moor the wagons continue through the Channel Tunnel to Calais Fréthun hauled by a class 92. From Calais-Fréthun they are thought to continue to Broekman Group in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays or to Myriad in Maubeuge France on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. According to Andy.L the wagons being hauled were 8749040428, 8746670003, 8747670036, 8749150037, 8749040113, 8746670441, 8446670747, 8446671448, 8446671703, 8446671026, 8746670060, 8746670698, 8746670391, 8746670086, 8446671174, 8446671166, 8746671084, 8749040071, 8749040287, 8749040337 and 8446671190.

The steel flow from South Wales to Maubeuge (France) and to Broekman (Holland) stopped running through the Channel tunnel at the end of November 2015. The flow to Maubeuge was cancelled as the cold mill which produced this material was mothballed as part of the Tata Steel strip downsizing programme. Instead Maubeuge is supplied from Tata Steels Limuiden plant (Holland). 2 grades of steel were also supplied by Tata Steel to Broekman Group to make oil drums. With one grade being sourced from elsewhere the remaining 700 tonnes per week of the second grade was not sufficient to run a block train. Despite Slough Railway Station being reported as having been closed for the day due to the sad deaths of a mother and her son Realtime Trains showed the route and timing of 6O32 remained unaffected;
