Trimodal site proposals in Yorkshire with rail in the sale

A large logistics hub is being planned for the site of Kellingley Colliery, the long-closed last deep coal mine in the UK, and a one-time mainstay of the local economy in this region of North Yorkshire. Rail freight is being promoted as part of the project’s appeal, although the developers admit that there is only outline planning permission in place for rail development, and no rail-based logistics feature in the slick video projection of the finished warehousing park. The developers say that the first units will be available by the end of next year.
