Proposals for Derbyshire rail freight terminal
Developers have secured a former heavy industry site situated between the cities of Derby and Nottingham, with plans to establish a rail-connected logistics park. The site is the disused Stanton Ironworks, on the southern edge of the town of Ilkeston. Local reports say the site has been largely derelict since before the turn of the century. The 200 acre (81 hectare) brownfield site is served by a former industrial branch line directly off the Midland Main Line. It is also adjacent to the M1 north-south motorway. Part of the site is already occupied by businesses involved in the plans.
