We get coal delivered to the Port of Tyne and transferred onto railway trucks to be transferred to the odd power station but that's about it these days.

I ran with coal haulers when I hauled down to the 'states. Don't do that no more.

Didn't they close all of your coal mines over there, Jim?

I can relate to sharing the road with those eastern Kentucky coal trucks. Those drivers are all nutz!

My coal guy hauls straight from the breaker here in the northern Appalachians and he supplements his income by hauling fuel oil too. He's a German immigrant descendant named Streit.

Yep, just a few opencast left as far as I am aware.

When I was a kid just about every terraced house had a coal bunker in the backyard.
