Restarted Humber Oil Refinery paths

[Tobytrain10]

I noticed VSTP from the 7th September 2026 for light locos from Scunthorpe going to from 6M57 from Humber to Kingsbury after the path has been converted from Lindsey Oil to Humber Oil, Will this be the only Path to restart or will they restart the 4th path?

Good question, its on STP all next week (until Sat). Do Colas not run the schedule anymore?

Colas never ran Humber Oil schedule, they ran the Lindsey one, but the company that took over Lindsey only wanted it to be delivered by road, so Lindsey colas paths ended leaving only 2 Humber DB paths, now there should be 3 from next week

Thanks for the correction.

Always a shame to hear cases where rail freight being dropped for road transport instead.

Surely this is where the government should step in and force the company to use rail. You know, with all this green, environmental targets etc.

This is best achieved by ensuring that road haulage pays the full environmental, and other, costs of its provision, rather than making clumsy individual orders to companies.

I think it needs to be better incentives for using rail freight, increasing road costs will put many companies out of business. We don't want to cripple companies, just encourage them to keep using their rail networks.

Another scheduled path is always a good thing (if it comes to fruition).

(if it comes to fruition).

It will, they were referbishing Tanks a few months ago to restart a path or 2, just didnt know when it would start

I also noticed the other Lindsey oil path also turned into a DB Humber path, so its possible they may restart another one, but nothing yet

I have noticed that half of 6M00s paths have turned to Lindsey Oil refinery paths that are actually running
