Inquiry Into Felixstowe Rail Expansion
« on: March 19, 2007, 02:46:36 PM »

Plans for a major expansion of rail freight at the Port of Felixstowe in Suffolk are to go before a public inquiry (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/6444767.stm

The port wants to dual four miles of single track between the villages of Levington and Trimley.

This would allow 40 freight trains into and out of the container port each day by the year 2020.

No word on what onward routes these trains would then take.....

I note that the articles says "extra 40 trains a day" and refers back to a similar story of 10 months ago that says "extra 12 trains a day". It looks like Olympic style inflation ;-)
