Hi Patrick
Thanks for that - still sad to see Goole losing business, plus it will only mean more trucks travelling further on the roads....
You are right about Grove Wharf most of the vessels were on the south bank that faces east-west, but it wasn't that clear where I was on my first visit. So on the Trent there are effectively 5 different berths - Gunness (near the bridge), Keadby, Grove Wharf, Neap House and Flixborough, yes?

There's also Burton Stather which is downstream from Flixborough. It was out of use for a few years but is back in action again although it gets very little traffic - Patrick will have a better idea, but I think it only gets about one ship every 3 months or so.
So, the whole list for the Trent, going upriver, is as follows:
Burton upon Stather: one berth.
Flixborough: two berths named NE and SE (I think that's "North End" and "South End")
Neap House: two berths named simply 1 and 2
Grove: lots of berths but not all are always used. From memory the berth designations are as follows:
LE1
LE2
LM1
LM2
UM1
UM2
TE1
TE2
Dolphin
I think there's also one that is occasionally used that is referred to as "Tank"
IIRC, The letters stand for Low End, Lower Middle, Upper Middle, and Top End.
Keadby AWS: one berth
Gunness: two berths named Fina and Main.
Patrick has much more knowledge of all this than I do so he may correct a few points above.
