50 trains used Telford rail freight terminal in first 365 days

A multi-million-pound international rail freight terminal in Shropshire has been branded "a white elephant" by campaigners, who have called for more to be made of the site. A multi-million-pound international rail freight terminal in Shropshire has been branded "a white elephant" by campaigners, who have called for more to be made of the site. The £7.75m International Railfreight Park in Donnington, Telford, was expected to handle four trains a day when it opened in 2009. But in its first year just 50 trains used the centre - leading to calls today for part of the site to be used as a lorry park to help boost business. However, Telford & Wrekin Council chiefs have defended the terminal, saying they expected to make "significant" announcements about further new users in the next few weeks.
