Regarding Wembley, I read in one of the railway magazines that much of its Enterprise/wagonload work is transferring to Didcot. Does this imply that these services are to be integrated more with the MoD network (Didcot being a hub for this)? Also read that Trafford Park's traffic is transferring to Wakefield Europort, as the latter has 'better transport links'. As for money wasted on under-used/unused freight infrastructure, a prime example must be the new terminals built for the Royal Mail traffic, most of which can only have seen a couple of years work. At the other end of the scale would be the siding built at Kyle of Lochalsh for wagonload freight - did it ever generate any? And what has become of the new terminal in Portsmouth - I haven't read of anything out of there yet.
