MULTI-MILLION-POUND roject designed to shift hundreds f freight movements off the roads nd onto rail near the Humber orts will boost the region's conomic growth, according to letwork Rail.
The owner and operator of Iritain's railway infrastructure ays a partnership of organisations ave been working together to improve rail freight access to Associated British Ports' (ABP) operations in Hull and Immingham.
More than £23m will be spent improving infrastructure and opening up rail lines. One link serving Hull will be upgraded to run 12 extra freight trains, each capable of carrying as much as 25 trucks. Dyan Crowther. route director for Network Rail, says: "The recent Eddington report identified the importance of freight routes in supporting the ports as they expand to meet international demand. The movement of freight by rail from the ports supports the government objectives for the transfer of freight from road to rail where practicable."
