LAST OF THE WELSH COAL TRAINS
Despite the substantial decline of coal mining in the UK over the last three decades, until recently, coal was still a vital energy source for the nation's power stations. With the government's phase-out of all coal-fired power stations by 2025, many have already closed.South Wales is one of the last places in the UK where coal is still mined and dispatched by rail for domestic consumption. During 2013 and 2014, coal accounted for 36 percent of all UK rail freight, but that amount plummeted in 2015 due to the doubling of the top-up carbon tax, a measure implemented to encourage power stations to use greener fuels.
This measure was taken to reduce toxic nitrogen emissions at the plant and was the beginning of the end for the power station, which finally closed in late Aberthaw power station was the principal customer for this coal until 2017, when they turned to imported coal.
