It was intended that trains of these wagons \ncould run in a continuous loop from the colliery to the power station \nand back, with machinery I place to allow loading and unloading at slow \nspeeds. In reality it was often the case that the infrastructure to \nallow this type of running did not exist, particularly at the \ncollieries, but nonetheless these wagons greatly improved coal transfer. \nWith the decline of Britain's coal industry these previously extremely \ncommon wagons have now become extremely rare with most having been \neither scrapped or rebuilt as another form of wagon.
