A week of closures on the south coast of England will allow completion of a radical upgrade to freight facilities at the Port of Southampton. Between Saturday 13 and Friday 19 February, the line connecting Southampton Central with the towns of Brockenhurst and Romsey will close for engineers to finish upgrades designed to permit far more efficient freight operations. Passengers will face seven days of being shipped around in buses, so that goods can be shipped out of the docks on a new, fit for purpose rail layout.
