Hey.

I wanted to list all of Hull's freight terminals e.t.c, and I was wondering if anyone had a full list as RealTimeTrains doesn't really show that much.

Many thanks.

There are biomass, steel and gypsum terminals within the docks, plus Dairycoates stone terminal
on the west side of the city: https://goo.gl/maps/p4nAa6hPHiF2

Coal also used to be loaded in the Docks, but that traffic has been superseded by biomass.

There's something deeply poignant about coal being imported into a port in Britain, and especially one that is not that far from what was a major coalfield.
