Rail freight strategy

The rail freight industry needs help to deliver the wider benefits of rail freight to Londoners and the UK. Transport for London (TfL)'s rail freight strategy shows that there is a good business case for intervening to support the industry and presents a series of solutions that reflect both passenger and freight growth needs over the next ten years. During the preparation of the strategy, we undertook a number of engagement activities with stakeholders including rail industry partners, such as Network Rail. This close collaboration has ensured the development of realistic solutions, which are consistent with TfL's Transport 2025 initiative. The strategy, which forms part of London's forthcoming sustainable freight strategy, is published with a planning policy toolkit, a development control toolkit and a list of potential small to medium sized sites for rail freight development in London. Together they form a planning resource to assist the development of rail freight terminals in London.
