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.

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.
