In addition to sending insulated containers by road to Vauxhall and Southtown stations for despatch by rai, when there was sufficent demand Birds Eye used the tramway to despatch large amounts of their product in bulk direct from their premises to the national rail network fopr disrtibution. With diesel shunters at the front and rear the Birds Eye train holds traffic up as it crosses the road leading to the Haven Bridge.
