New 775m-Long Freight Trains Begin Operating On UK’s Rail Network

The title of this post, is the same as that as this article on Global Railway Review.

This is the first paragraph.

DP World have announced that its two deep-water ports at Southampton and London Gateway have become the first in the UK capable of handling Freightliner’s new 775m-long intermodal container trains.

It appears from the article that Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds can also handle these longer trains.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
