§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will discuss with the chairman of British Rail the number and location of continental-gauge freight terminals and depots required in the United Kingdom following the opening of the channel tunnel.
§ Mr. FreemanBritish Rail has already announced the locations of the nine intermodal terminals it proposes to use to feed channel tunnel freight on to British Rail's existing track network. These will handle intermodal and other freight traffic which will be moved in wagons compatible with British Rail's existing structure gauge, subject to certain limited gauge enhancements on specific route sections.
