Talk:Stourport Power Station

On the Hartlebury page, it is stated that:

"The line as far as Stourport remained open until 1979 for coal trains serving Stourport Power Station"

Whilst it is noted on this page that "The power station closed in 1984". How did the power station keep running for five years? They surely can't have stockpiled that much coal. Perhaps deliveries reverted to being by boat, but 1979-1984 seems like a very late date for any significant use of the canal system.
