Network Rail Freight Escape Episode 3 

I hope that these videos are being used to educate students in geography lessons

Great explainer, thanks. The impressive rail operation at Drax is the 2020s version of British Rail's impressive MGR concept, albeit arranged around imported rather than local fuel. It's not a railway issue, of course, but biomass (especially as imported on such a huge scale) has questionable carbon-neutral credentials. Still, it's handy to have somewhere like Drax especially on winter days like now when the wind ain't blowing and the sun ain't shining!

We take everything for granted these days. Good to see the scale and importance of these operations.

BioMass the biggest con on the planet.

I always find the trucks of the road number to be a bit of a fake spin in these things Drax would not be were it is if the was not rail there (it was a coal PS with a pit almost next door ) if the was no rail it could be done by cannal and barge most fual in europe travils by river and cannal or what maybe the future anyway you build the plant at the dock and the ships feed the fual stright into the furnices .....

Forget the cheesy buzz words, just supply affordable energy for the bill payers.

I'm enjoying these videos but please loose the sub titles ....
