Wellingborough Aggregates Terminal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wellingborough Aggregates Terminal is a rail freight terminal in Wellingborough, UK. It is operated by GRS Rail Services.[1]

In 2022, the terminal was the site of an electrification trial. As freight trains are usually loaded from above, it is not possible to install typical overhead lines. A new moveable overhead conductor was installed which retracts to allow loading of the train.[2]
