New Freight Link From Portsmouth
« on: August 15, 2007, 10:02:55 AM »
A direct rail link transporting freight between Portsmouth and the north-west of England is a step closer to reality (link below.)
http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/ViewArticle.aspx?SectionID=1597&articleid=3109308

Work is set to start in about a week , and the development will see freight taken by road from the port to Fratton goods yard then taken out of the city by rail.

It also secures the long-term future of the port for freight and represents the end of a 10 - year journey to get it off the ground.

The first cargo will leave Portsmouth on November 30 2007.
