Hams Hall Power station
Hams Hall coal fired power station had quite an extensive rail system which was later in life used MGR wagons to bring in coal often using class 20 locomotives to the end of its operation. The system has a loop system which branched off Whitacre Junction opposite the water works. Today this access point remains in use as access to the Coleshill Freightliner terminal and there is an abandoned stub which runs to the edge of the modern Hams Hall business park.
