Freight at Micheldever
Whilst waiting for my train to Fratton at Micheldever, a very long freight train came through. Network Rail have been doing a lot of work recently to make it possible for the larger W10 containers to get from Southampton to the West Coast Main Line for travel to Birmingham, the North and Scotland. I detailed this in Boxing Clever and it would appear that the strategy is being exploited. After all, every box moved by rail, doesn’t have to go on the road.
There were also some curious freight wagons in the sidings at the station.

My train for Fratton is just approaching and you can see the line of wagons begind it. They appeared to have end doors only.
