摘要

Enabling larger containers to be transported by rail between Southampton docks and freight terminals in the Midlands and North required major work on the rail between Southampton and the West Coast Main Line. This saw Carillion conduct many significant elements of the wider Southampton to Basingstoke gauge clearance project. The initial part was a contract to clear the main line route via the Southampton Tunnel, before moving on to the opening of the diversionary route via Salisbury.
