Many also have/had their own railhead, so the road part wasn't always needed.

There are a few without their own rail head e.g. Oldbury on Severn and think the fuel for there was sent somewhere near Berkley and then by road

I lived in Berkley about 25 years ago and my next door neighbour was part of the team that managed fuel shipments around the UK

As far as I can tell, the Torness AGR plant doesn't have a rail link even though it is pretty close (less than 1km) from the east coast main line.

There's a dedicated transfer facility with a siding and crane on the ECML about 1.5km west of the power station.

Thanks - once I knew it was there it was easy to spot.

See https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/torness-power-station-r... ; it is perhaps a mile and a bit west of the power station, crane and all.
