Rail

Recent government investment into the Midlands County Railway allowed us to visit the historic site of Beeston Train Station. The site consisted of older HID technology luminaires and was in desperate need of an upgrade.

Owned and operated by Associated British Ports (ABP), Hams Hall is a 27 acre intermodal rail / road interchange facility. As the UK's busiest inland rail freight terminal, the site handles over 200,000 containers (200,000 TEU) per annum and has a 5,000 TEU storage capacity.

Situated 7 miles from Skegness, Thorpe Culvert Train Station sees many travellers pass through on their journeys to popular UK holiday destinations such as Boston, as well as to city breaks in Nottingham. The station has two platforms in which passengers can relax on until their next train’s arrival.

Operating since 1972, Freightliner is a leading rail freight haulage provider offering high quality solutions for many diverse sectors across the UK and Continental Europe. Basford Hall Yard, located near the town of Crewe, Cheshire is one of the most important hubs of the West Coast Mainline, with the majority of freight trains on this line, passing through. The site also handles between 28,000 and 47,000 wagons each week making it one of the busiest yards in Europe.
