I have just managed to get a long distance coal delivery on the ECML to Kings Cross route.
One of the difficulties is that many of the industries and placed as "scenery" - i.e. they're not enabled or in some cases not connected to the rail network.
Another difficulty is that the Newcraighall colliery sidings and trackwork is rather complicated. However, I've loaded a consist with coal, moved it to the main line (headshunts etc) then assigned it to the Dispatcher.
It's now proceeding to Powerstation 2 (one that will accept coal, and is connected!).
