It was recently announced that Pembrokeshire CC have approved plans for a biomass power station at Trecwn near Fishguard. See Article below:

The article says that the plant will require 53 HGV deliveries a day which seems very precise! For those of you who don't know Trecwn was a rail served munitions depot which closed in the 90s and I thought the rail connection was still intact. Does anyone know if this is the case and if so why can't deliveries be made by rail? It seems so logical in a very rural area where roads are not that fantastic.

Plans for power station at ex-armaments depot approved
Plans to build a power station at the former Royal Navy armaments depot at Trecwn have been approved by Pembrokeshire council.
The Valley (Pembrokeshire) Ltd say about 45 full-time jobs will be created by the development, along with 250 construction jobs.
The biomass plant will generate energy from burning forestry and saw mill residues and recycled wood.
It is expected to take 30 months to build the plant.
The original depot was used to store explosives and munitions at Trecwn, employing about 500 people.
Tunnels and chambers
Built at the start of the World War Two, it was the largest and most secret arms depot in Europe....
