Southampton Freight Train Lengthening scheme
Channel: Network Rail
Date: 2021-09-21

This month, the Southampton Freight Train Lengthening scheme won a Rail Freight Group award and was highly commended at the National Rail Awards for 'freight and logistics achievement of the year'.

The scheme has allowed longer freight trains (of up to 775 metres long) to run into the port - taking thousands of HGVs off the road and cutting down on congestion and emissions.
