Maritime Transport has officially opened its Northampton Gateway Rail Freight Terminal.
The terminal is part of a larger SRFI being built out by SEGRO – and is adjacent to the M! between junctions 15 and 15A. It is connected to the West Coast Mainline.
Northampton Gateway is already home to huge Amazon and Yusen sheds, with several other sites already earmarked for construction. GXO and ID Logistics have large facilities just the other side of the motorway, and Grange Park and Brackmills are a further five mintes away.
The guest of honour was Lord Peter Hendy, the Minister for Rail – and he unveiled the plaque with John Williams, Executive Chairman of Maritime.
Northampton Gateway is another Maritime terminal that allows shipping lines, 3PLs and BCOs to use rail for long distance connectivity, working in tandem with Maritime’s burgeoning eHGV fleet for more local distribution.
Lord Hendy emphasised that this multimodal solution was key for the UK’s logistics, sustainability and resilience goals.
