Didn’t realise there was that much coal left,sounds like there’s as much again as what was extracted over the last 2 or 3 hundred years eh! I know a freight train driver who regularly brings 2000 ton train loads of Aussie coal from Clydeport over the Settle Carlisle line for that big power station in Yorkshire.One type 66 engine,throttle wide open,and it just creeps ower’t top at 15 mph!! Bit like your new Scanny Paul up Muncaster bank eh! Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
Bit off topic here Dennis but the rear of my house overlooks the East Coast Mainline and regularly see trainloads of coal heading North toward Newcastle and beyond, and to think that throughout the UK there was a saying, "It’s like taking coal to Newcastle.

hiya,
Just remarking about something which is now factual Vic, coal being taken to Newcastle never thought I’d see it in my lifetime,millions of tons of the stuff under our feet and It’s still being imported must cost nowt.
thanks harry long retired.
