Freight in the Dorset Area Query

[matt]

Does anyone know what freight operates in the Dorset Area specifically Southampton and the lines to the south. All help much appreciated

 

[AlexS]

Southampton Maritime Freightliner terminal is the main one. EWS workings also. Generally it's mainly container freight, I believe.

I think freight at Furzebrook has now ceased (but as the route is based from about '97 onwards, activities should be alright )
