Dollands Moor Freight Yard

This is to allow access to the South-Eastern Main Line at Saltwood Junction just to the east of Sandling Station.

Dollands Moor was operated by Railfreight Distribution from its opening, then EWS and now DB Cargo UK.

[1] Most trains operating from Dollands Moor are of the Trainload variety and if any marshalling is required, this was historically undertaken at European Freight Operating Centre in Wembley, but with the drawdown of the Wagonload network in the UK[2] they now go to Didcot.

At the time of writing (October 2015) just one Fridays only working Wagonload train goes through Dollands Moor to Didcot [3][needs update] The lines from Dollands Moor and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link are measured in kilometres whereas Network Rail lines are measured in miles and chains.

[4] Illegal immigrants have been a problem for Dollands Moor; and stowaways have caused increased security and safety incidents.
