Norfolk s heritage steam trains and other attractions that run on coal may soon have to import it from Russia or even Australia.
Britain s last mine producing coal for steam trains is at Ffos-y-Fran in south Wales, which is due to close in 2022, and a bid to open a new mine near Newcastle has just been refused.
