Have I got this right? - the conveyor from the washery runs across the centre to three conveyors. The centre one runs to a tower to discharge into rail trucks, whilst the other two are reversible and run to storage areas (I remember seeing coal stocks in the left-hand area as I passed on the M6 in the foreground).

The long conveyor from left to right is the conveyor from the washery. The 2 side units were scraper conveyors to put the stocked coal back to the rapid loader and only ran one way. I will have to think about how we put the coal onto stock. I should know as I worked on it from first being built.
