Volume Nine - Pre-Victorian to the present day - even more aspects - The Introduction of 20 ton Coal Wagons - 1923   . . .

Alterations in the lay-out of the lines and position of the weighbridges are to be made and additional sidings provided for improving the facilities for serving the coal tips at Penarth Docks.

1928 - Penarth - A further two hoists have been provided capable of shipping coal from 29-ton wagons, and there are now three of these hoists at Penarth, while an additional hoist is being adapted. GWR Magazine [1348] [1349] January 1928.

I can find no photographic record of 20-ton coal trucks in use at Penarth Dock. Should anyone have any photographs and/or information to add, I would be very pleased to hear from you - please do not hesitate to contact us!
