Fawley Refinery

Hi, couple of questions for anyone on here with recent knowledge of operations at Fawley refinery.
Firstly there was/is a line into the refinery itself and a small network of lines within the complex. Is this still in use? Is it still accessible? There is an aerial photo pn Google Earth which shows a rake of what looks like LPG tanks stored on the access line which suggests no regular usage
Secondly there used to be large numbers of wagons of various sorts stored in extensive holding sidings but when I flew over the site recently these appeared to be more or less empty. Is the site being run down?
FInally how many workings remain to/from Fawley? I beliive there is a regular bitumen train out and a crude working in from Alton. Is there much else now?
Many thanks!
