- youngtaff 2y agoThere are a few without their own rail head e.g. Oldbury on Severn and think the fuel for there was sent somewhere near Berkley and then by road I lived in Berkley about 25 years ago and my next door neighbour was part of the team that managed fuel shipments around the UK
- arethuza 2y agoAs far as I can tell, the Torness AGR plant doesn't have a rail link even though it is pretty close (less than 1km) from the east coast main line.
- FLHerne 2y agoThere's a dedicated transfer facility with a siding and crane on the ECML about 1.5km west of the power station.
- arethuza 2y agoThanks - once I knew it was there it was easy to spot.
- chickenbig 2y agoSee https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/torness-power-station-rail-connected.89909/ https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/torness-power-station-r... ; it is perhaps a mile and a bit west of the power station, crane and all.
