More Coal From Hull

Always keen to hear about developments on Hull's railfreight, the line passes straight passed GT Electrical. So news that GB Railfreight have signed a deal starting in July to transport up to 800,000 tons of coal on behalf of EDF Energy is excellent for the city. There's already 4 trains a day in and out the docks for EWS and Freightliner, carrying over 40,000 tonnes to Drax and Cotham power stations. At this rate the single line will have to be upgraded back to dual track.
