Dollands Moor has eight roads in the yard with an additional five roads which are through lines and run-round loops. All lines are electrified at 25 kV overhead wires and connections to the west of the yard are also dually electrified with a
third rail (750 V). 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. Other freight operators pass through the yard, but do not stop there. The function of Dollands Moor is for locomotive and crew changes rather than
marshalling. 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 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 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. == Migratory activity ==
