Firstly they said to EWS "you had X amount of trains late arriving at Drax power station. Can you give the details why?" So EWS managers gave a detailed account of why each and every train was late. Some were due to EWS's own failures, some were due to Network Rail signal or track failures, and some were due to vandalism etc.
Drax then asked GBRF the same question, and GBRF managers came back with their own detailed analysis in the same way that EWS had.
Drax then asked FHH for their reasons why X amount of their trains were late. FHH answered that they couldn't actually give any reasons why any of their trains were late.
Drax managers then told the EWS and GBRF reps to leave the room. They then told FHH that they were very unhappy with their response and that they are issuing them with a final warning. If the same thing happens again, FHH will not be allowed to deliver coal to Drax anymore.

Load of rubbish this story, i've seen the logs in coal control, every late arrival
and departure from power stations,ports,mines and other loading points are logged and the reason for the delay. In addition HH drivers are in contact with power stations to advise of any late running.
