A train carrying containers from Bicester's Ministry of Defence supply depot was the first to use the new £9m Donnington railfreight terminal, in Telford, Shropshire, last week.
The containers, and others brought by rail from Marchwood military port, near Southampton, were being delivered to another MoD supply depot adjacent to the new terminal.
