DB Schenker has taken a 20-year lease on a 34-acre site in Barking, East London, with plans to initially construct a rail connected facility to accommodate the unloading, storage, preparation and distribution of imported and exported finished vehicles. The new facility is expected to open in March 2015.
This will be the only rail linked facility of its type in the country, connected to HS1.
DB says it will be ideally situated at the most westerly point of connection to the European rail network, providing a pivotal link between the UK and Europe. The terminal will initially have the capability of handling up to 150,000 finished vehicles per year.
