Do trains still run to Hull Saltend?

I know that the Saltend - Spondon/Mostyn Dock/Baglan Bay Acetic Acid Tanks were ceased years ago, but is there any other services apart from that? Because I have seen the rails and sidings e.t.c there and they seen quite overgrown and not very well maintained. However I am skeptical about the service as there is still a timetable for Saltend B.P., Saltend Marcroft and Saltend New Sidings?

I'm afraid not - nothing runs to Saltend any more and hasn't done since the 'vinegar' trains finished

Not sure what you mean by "a timetable" - there haven't been any paths
in the WTT for that line for many years. Where did you see this timetable?

I saw it on RealTimeTrains.

As you can see there, underneath Hull Paragon itself, it lists all 3 of Saltend's terminals.

The timing location is still in TRUST (the railway schedule computer), but it doesn't necessarily mean that trains run there. If you click on one of those listed locations, you can see for yourself if there's any trains scheduled.

Another such example is Weymouth Quay still being there, even though it's getting on for two decades since any trains went that way!

Ohhh I see. So its rather on there because it still exists rather than because things still run to it.
