Cwmbargoed Coal Disposal Point

Adjacent to the site and under Miller Argent’s ownership is an existing coal Disposal Point (DP) with a direct rail connection to the UK rail network. Within the DP, there are several rail sidings. The DP is connected via the rail network to the UK sea ports and directly to RWE's Aberthaw power station.

It is calculated that, in moving the coal by rail to the power station, it will save some 42 million lorry miles over the life of the coaling operations.
