Rail Terminal Capability and Services

Rail access to the terminal is cleared for W8 loading gauge (from the west only) and has the advantage that it can be accessed from the Marches line linking South Wales and the North of England, avoiding some of the congestion on the rail network on the West Coast mainline and in the West Midlands conurbation. The terminal is an open access facility, capable of handling intermodal traffic, bulk freights and wagon load or palletised traffic. Initially the terminal is expected to handle around 200,000 to 250,000 tonnes of freight annually but will have the capacity to handle up to 750,000 tonnes per year. The site benefits from excellent links with the M54 along A roads.
