Royal Mail, the postal service for the UK, is building a huge new parcels and light logistics hub within DIRFT – Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal. The hub within Midlands’ rail freight and distribution centre will be the Royal Mail’s biggest parcels terminal, and will take advantage of rail connections into the Northamptonshire site. Royal Mail already conveys mail up and down the adjacent West Coast Main Line. The 80,000 square metre facility is due for first class delivery in 2023.
