Rail freight

Terminals & intermodal sites

The places freight is loaded, unloaded and handed over — ports, strategic rail freight interchanges, quarries and industrial terminals.

How to read this

What am I looking at?

Intermodal: Container terminals where deep-sea or domestic boxes transfer between ship/road and rail — the SRFIs (strategic rail freight interchanges).
Port / bulk: Harbour terminals (Humber, Tees, Mersey, Thames) handling containers, bulk and project cargo.
Aggregates / construction: Quarries and concrete/aggregate depots dispatching stone, ballast and construction materials by train.
Automotive / steel: Car plants, ports and steelworks with dedicated rail flows.
Coordinates: Each site has an approximate location; open a terminal for its services and a map.
