For each additional 15 miles or fraction thereof beyond 450 miles, 14s. 9d. will be added.

  1. Computation—Except in the case of timber or as otherwise provided, where the use of a check wagon or a bogie wagon is necessary owing to the length or other nature of goods whereby they cannot be loaded in a four-wheeled wagon the following method of charging will apply:

(a) A consignment of 3 tons or more, loaded on a four-wheeled wagon and one check wagon provided, or loaded on a bogie wagon. No extra charge will be made on account of the check wagon or bogie wagon being necessary.

(b) A consignment of less than 3 tons loaded on a four-wheeled wagon and one check wagon provided, or loaded on a bogie wagon. Charge as for 3 tons at the appropriate rate for the commodity.

(c) Check wagons additional to the wagons specified in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) hereof. Charge for the additional check wagons used.

Separate consignments loaded in the same bogie wagon or in a four-wheeled wagon plus a check wagon by the same or different consignors at the one forwarding station to the same or different consignees at the one destination station will be grouped for the purpose of calculating the minimum of 3 tons. Any weight deficiency to make up the minimum is to be apportioned equally between the consignments which required the use of such wagon(s).

  1. Special Wagons—(a) Empty petrol-tank wagons will be conveyed under the provisions of regulation 88, paragraph 6.

(b) Consignments loaded on wagons specially designed for the carriage of plate glass will be charged according to the classified rate for "Glass, plate", vide regulation 68.

(c) Well wagons (Up Class) are specially designed for the conveyance of unusually heavy and/or bulky articles. The charges for the use of these wagons will be under special arrangement with the District Traffic Manager.

  1. Shunting Charges on Loads for Shipment

  2. The classified or local rates or haulage charges on goods for shipment cover the placing of the wagons containing such goods at the ship’s side. Where a request is made to the Department, either before or after the wagons are placed at the ship’s side, for the wagons to be sorted for a particular hold or port of discharge, and such sorting necessitates additional shunting work beyond that which would ordinarily be required to place such wagons at the ship’s side, or where, owing to a ship moving to another berth, wagons which have already been placed at the ship’s side require to be moved to the ship’s side in its new berth, the additional service will be charged for at the rate of £4 4s. per hour; minimum charge, £1 1s. for each service.
