"Intermodal railfreight in Great Britain is a way of transporting containers between ports, inland ports and terminals in England, Scotland and Wales, by using rail to do so. Initially started by British Rail in the 1960s, the use of containers that could be swapped between different modes of transport goes back to the days of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway. Many of the older terminals opened by British Rail have closed down, with the focus on strategic rail freight interchanges (SRFIs), which will focus on a wider area or region with good onward road, or water, transport links."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Initially started by British Rail in the 1960s, the use of containers that could be swapped between different modes of transport goes back to the days of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway. The transport of containers from ship to rail is classified by the UK government as Lo-Lo traffic (lift-on, lift-off). Volumes of intermodal traffic in the United Kingdom have been rising since 1998, with an expectation of further growth in the years ahead; by 2017, railfreight was moving one in four of containers that entered the United Kingdom. However, the movement of containers through the Channel Tunnel has been labelled as disappointing, but this has suffered a myriad of problems such as migrant issues and safety problems. Since privatisation of the railways in the 1990s, the market has grown from one initial operator (Freightliner), to four main operators, DB Cargo, Direct Rail Services and GB Railfreight, although other entrants have tried to run intermodal trains. Many of the older terminals opened by British Rail have closed down, with the focus on strategic rail freight interchanges (SRFIs), which will focus on a wider area or region with good onward road, or water, transport links."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
