Longer freight trains at Southampton port after £17m Network Rail project

LONGER freight trains are set to travel through Southampton following the completion of a £17million upgrade to a key stretch of railway line. Network Rail finished the Southampton Freight Train Lengthening scheme – a series of improvements on the line between Southampton Central and Redbridge – last Friday, February 19. The work on track, signals and sidings adds capacity at the UK’s second biggest container port. Freight trains once restricted to 520 metres in length can be extended to 775m, or 14 extra containers per train – meaning services between Southampton, the Midlands and the North can carry up to 20 per cent more goods. Six 775m freight trains per day are set to operate from the Freightliner Maritime Terminal in Redbridge. If each adds 14 containers, they will combine to move an extra 84 containers of goods per day.
