In 1974, the sidings at
Thorney Mill were served by 24 oil trains and ten stone trains per week. The site also processed 360 tons of scrap metal. Trains ceased to run south of Thorney Mill in January 1981, but in May 1990 a new aviation fuel terminal for Heathrow Airport was opened at Colnbrook. Fuel
