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.
