Not really - Ipswich-Peterborough would do (widening and
electrification, please).

Part of the problem is the number of larger containers that are
currently only passed for the route via the NLL. IIRC Hutchinson
Ports have already offered to contribute towards gauge enhancements
on the Ipswich to Peterborough route, to allow trains to run that
way.

Which is what I meant by widening. The sooner the better!

You going to pay the cost of double tracking from Soham to Ely?

Also, some people here seem to be overlooking that some freight actually
originates and terminates in London!

It certainly does. However, my guess is that the major part by for is
destined for points north of the freight arc I have described
elsewhere.

We really need some statistics on the origin and destination of
freight flows within the UK. Does anyone utilizing these groups have
such?
