Outside the regular beet season, the factory was kept supplied by train loads of sugar cane from Newport or Cardiff docks. Tank loads of molasses, a by-product of the refining process, were shipped from the factory to Avonmouth docks<ref>[[Bibliography | Turley (2005), p74.]]</ref>.
 
In 1938, the factory received 75000 tons of sugar beet, 70000 tons of raw sugar and 37000 tons of coal via the GWR, and despatched nearly 27000 tons of refined sugar and 7000 tons of pulp and molasses.<ref>Great Western Railway Magazine, september 1939</ref>
