Isn't there some sort of weight limit on the bridge which, in MGR days, reduced overall train length?
It is also worth bearing in mind that MCT is capable of (more easily) handling 775m trains after the recent upgrades which will have reduced the need to use Millbrook.I had a look at a weeks worth of RTT and didn’t find any obvious traffic in or out of the Millbrook terminal, does anyone know if it should have its own location and timing point in RTT?
The Dec '21 timetable is when the first set of paths to/from Southampton get uplifted. There may be very few max-length services already (as @swt_passenger and @hwl have indicated), but it'll be from the Dec '21 change that there are a significant number of WTT paths. It will take a few changes to get every* service uplifted.Southampton Line Closures Leaflet (networkrail.co.uk)
Following the completion of the infrastructure works in February - have intermodal freights in and out of Southampton now been lengthened from 530 to 775 metres. Has demand expanded to fill the space or is that a work in progress?
Only a Q path - run as required - like most of the others listed for KinetonNew flow from MOD Kineton to Ashchurch, 6V34 via Birmingham Snow Hill. M to F in May timetable change.
Return via Kemble and Didcot.
How often it will run will remain to be seen.

There’s been a light loco going back and forth between Bristol Freightliner and Bristol East depot today* - a good 8-10 times. Only thing I can think is driver training for the recent new Stone trains into the freightliner terminal.
*RTT says light loco, can’t be bothered to walk up the road to check.
Just a minor correction - the Wylfa(Valley) train still runs occasionally;I'm sure Barrie Hughes won't mind me copying this from his unofficial Welsh Highland Railway website:
...This will mean the welcome return of revenue earning freight to the North Wales coast Line after 2 years of absence since the Wylfa nuclear waste traffic ceased. The other scheme to restart freight from Llandudno Junction Yard has yet to make any progress.
And like the current path into Ashchurch from Didcot!
Shame, I'd have hoped for something regular.

Somehow I missed that one; before it, I think the last might have been 2013-ish?March 2019 was I believe the last train into Ashchurch MOD.
I understood it was sand from Tyne Dock to Tinsley and a new flow, albeit not daily.Up for an insomniac glass of wine at this hour of the morning and spotted a pic on Flickr of a SAND working from Tinsley to Tyne Dock . Anyone got more info , is this a special , was said to be Tuesday only
First train is due to run next Wednesday in a similar path to the Doncaster Railport schedule:Train is going to Tinsley.
No, but I understand that FL will also be running trains to/from Tinsley in a few weeks time!Don’t think Freightliner went there before.
Always love it when a new rail terminal opens.
@newellwright
at Tinsley this morning which I’m proud to have been a part of making it happen. More freight off the roads to come with a second daily service starting next week

It never runsThere's been discussion elsewhere on the forum in the past in relation to freight (and especially logging trains) on the West Highland line. Up in Fort William last week I was intrigued to see this movement planned: (7Y04) Realtime Trains - 7Y04 1340 Corpach Pulp Mill to Fort William J.Yd T.C.
Having seen it activated on the day I decide to make the short trip over to Corpach to see what it was as it only runs as far as Fort William Yard. In the end despite being activated it didn't run and that seems to be the case every day it is scheduled. So two quick questions:
1. Does anyone know what this schedule is for and
2. Has it/does it ever run?
