Using GE I've answered one of my earlier questions, it is very easy to
reverse the traffic flow at Southampton Container Port so that the trains
arrive and depart from the west. I'm surprised they are not doing it
already.


On the face of it it seems possible, but it might be due to so many of the
drivers being based at Eastleigh. About half of the trains do their crew
changes in the platforms there, indeed they regular cause short notice
platform alterations or delays. Aso, they are able to recess the trains in
the north yard sidings to await their paths and keep them out of the way
during the peaks, apparently there isn't room to do this down at the docks.
