Fawley Rail Freight Line Closure 2016

The Totton to Fawleyfreight line has finally closed in 2016 following the refinery's decision to stop using the rail route to deliver crude oil to the huge petro-chemical complex. Nostalgia was the order of the day as the last train trundled along the single-line railway that linked communities on the Waterside. Passenger services ceased in the 1960s after the line fell victim to the infamous Beeching cuts that decimated Britain's railway network.

Great video, thanks for uploading. Are you able to tell me where you got this clip from? There used to be a whole serious of videos in this exact format narrated by the same man, but they got taken down. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry no idea where I got it from! I know some individuals are touchy about sharing video clips on railways!
