Last opencast coal site in the UK

Paul Argent reports from Ffos-y-Fran, the last surface coal site in the UK, which has recently ceased production. During our visit, we saw Komatsu D39PX dozers and a Hitachi 130-7 shaping a new motocross track at the site, based near Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. This project is being undertaken by ASTrax and JB Tracks. Read his report in the September 2023 issue of EARTHMOVERS   magazine.
