Railways: Freight
(asked on 8th March 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of freight capacity in freight sites owned by Network Rail.
This question was answered on 15th March 2016
The capacity of a freight site is determined by a number of factors including the parameters of the site, the loading capabilities within the site and the capacity of the rail network connecting to the site. The department has not made any assessment of the capacity in freight sites owned by Network Rail. Network Rail does not hold all the information required to make such an assessment as this is partly held by those freight operators who manage the sites.
