Anyone know what is happening here? The Park and Fly has gone, the fences torn down and track is being lifted, though in a rather methodical way which doesn't strike me as though the site is being razed.
A goole search showed that the site is shown as "under offer" by the current owners the BR▸ Residuary Body, though how up to date that is I couldn't tell.

Freighliner kit there in the last few days, so looks like they are reoccupying the site. Pointwork is now all connected up.

Oops! Sorry, I should have posted the results of my 'digging'!   I've only been able to find rumours, but apparently the Freightliner depot is being reinstated, to deal in particular with a contract for container traffic for the large wine warehouse at Avonmouth. Route learning is already happening. |

Route learning is already happening. From what I can gather it is more than rumours and infact may be open in just a few weeks! It is definately Freightliner involved though. |

It is more than a large wine warehous eit is Europe's biggest and accounts for 15% of UK▸ wine. Glad to see rail is getting a piece of the action.
Do they do off sales? hic!  |

There was a train there yesterday morning when I went past on a voyager. Gone when I went home but containers and lorry trailers in the yard.

Indeed!. Two days running in the morning, though whether this is just as they're starting up or indicative of normal usage remains to be seen. If the latter that's a lot of wine being carted around.

There is a daily service in the morning to Lawley Street. (might be wrong on destination but it does run daily)

The information that I have is that the destination is Thamesport, arriving here at about 0700 and departing at 1100.
