Most Anglo-Scottish coal originates from Killoch/New Cumnock/Greenburn/Thanks Mark , I was wondering about the trains running South , I thought there would be more than 3 or 4 .
The double heading was a publicity stunt, IMO!Mark do you know how many coal trains from Scotland are going to the power stations in England ? I heard about the double headers , did that not work ?
In the summer the cost price is probably lower, so it makes sense for the power companies to order this for storage for several monthsYesterday off the Port of Tyne we had THREE coal ships waiting to come in with approx 160 000 ton on the 3 of them , I have never ever seen 3 waiting in the summer .
Correct - there was a daily Hunterston to Ferrybridge trainwhat about GBRF trains , I have read they are running to Scotland too Mark
Just Drax, Cottam/West Burton, Ferrybridge, Lynemouth and Wilton at present,Thanks Mark , do you know how many power stations Tyne Dock is supplying coal to...
Hers a good question I would like to know how many coal trains a day does drax swallow up and how many biomass in a day ?
, I heard Port of Tyne take 3 hours to load the silo that the trains run through as the conveyor is very slow to take the 1200 tons up the to the silo.Have they ever hit the 8 per 24 hours ?
Visited Drax last year and they said then that their biomass use was around 20-25% of everything combusted - however they do get some things in through the Port of Goole so won't be as much coming from Tyne Dock.
