Rail freight

FTA promotes the following as its core policy agenda on rail to achieve the growth in rail freight that the UK supply chain requires:

  • Cost - delivering an economically competitive offering with ongoing reductions in operating costs
  • Service - providing a seven day accessible freight network, and striving toward the achievement of 24 hour operation
  • Network capability -
    • The removal of network pinch-points that constrain freight traffic
    • Gauge enhancement for intermodal containers
    • Expansion of European-gauge cleared routes for freight
  • Terminals - facilitating the development of rail freight terminals via the UK planning system
  • International - the liberalisation of rail freight services throughout Europe, and affordable Channel Tunnel freight access
