Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether Network Rail, Transport for London and Transport East are coordinating their work to support the growth of rail freight from London Gateway and the Port of Tilbury.
The Thameside Taskforce brings together officials from rail, ports and Local Authorities to focus on rail freight growth on the Thameside corridor. The Anglia Strategic Freight Board is made up of route executives, freight operators, freight customers and ports. Together they are working to support and co-ordinate growth initiatives for rail freight traffic using London Gateway Port and the Port of Tilbury.
