North London Line

"Adrian" wrote: [snip] Much of the freight traffic on the North London Line does not even need to be in London. I am convinced that the UK needs a freight arc from Felixstowe to Southampton. This could be constructed using, in part, the track beds of the DN&S and LNWR Oxford to Cambridge routes. What would be the logic of a freight connection between Southampton and Felixstowe? I would have thought that there would be little or no traffic actually between those points. Both are major container ports with traffic to and from the major manufacturing centres of Britain. Those connections could certainly do with upgrading. The two ports are too close together by sea for there to be any advantage in unloading containers at one port, railing them across country and reembarking them at the other. -- Graeme Wall This address is not read, substitute trains for rail.
