I am somewhat confused by the scheduling of the arriving coal trains at Immingham. Having worked as traincrew in the area for 30 years, I have an extensive knowledge of the area.
Over the last few years, the number of coal loading locations has increased to deal with the demand for imported coal. Starting with Coal Pad 1 the locations are as follows:
Coal Pad 1 : Essentially for the loading of coal services to TATA Steelworks, Scunthorpe
Coal Pad 2 : As Pad 1
NB: When not in use for TATA trains, either may be used to load power station trains
Humber International Terminal: Loading of power station coal
Coal Export Terminal : Originally the NCB Export terminal. Plant became redundant soon after Miners Strike of 1984. Infrastructure made manual and used presently to load power station coal
Hargraves: A single siding used to unload Anthracte duff and load power station coal

My issue is the scheduling of the services for the NCB location. In the WTT, the train is shown as passing Immingham West Jn. Surely the location labelled on the track diagram as COal Export Trminal should be the NCB Terminal
