London Gateway to Build 34-Wagon Rail Terminal

DP World London Gateway has awarded Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering a contract to build a rail terminal capable of handling the longest trains in the UK.

Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering is to develop the first of three rail terminals and double track the branch line to the port, which will allow London Gateway to accommodate trains of up to 34 wagons long.

The rail terminal will be served directly from the fully automated yard where dedicated landside equipment will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week even in very high wind conditions.

London Gateway is close to the east coast and west coast main lines that serve the UK's major cargo destinations including Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Birmingham and Liverpool.

DP World operates more than 60 terminals across six continents, with container handling generating around 80 per cent of its revenue. In addition, the company has 11 new developments and major expansions underway in 10 countries.
