The government's Freight Facilities Grant enabled fuel company Bayford Thrust to switch from road tankers to canal barges for oil deliveries to its storage depot east of Leeds, saving up to 16,000 tanker journeys a year. The government met £223,000 of the £300,000 development cost. Minister of State for Transport Glenda Jackson opened the terminal,
saying: For a long time the waterways grant scheme has languished and has been a poor relation compared to rail, but thanks to government efforts to publicise the grants and streamline them to make it easier to secure a grant, we are seeing a real change.' (CM 29 July 1999)
