Freight Ideas
Customers - FOCS
Interesting types of traffic that our customers run - "bin train" out of Wembley to Bristol x2 a week - if you didn't run it you would fill up this many swimming pools!!

Aviation fuel. Train from Isle of Grain in Kent to Colnbrook near LHR - joint venture between NR BP and BAA hauled by Freightliner for all BAs fleet at LHR - How Trains Help Planes
25% of all container traffic comes through Wales - have we covered that - amazing stat, completely unknown. Unpick this and focus on the infrastructure that makes it happen.
Port Talbot - London and SE building story, steel and aggregates is all coming out of the west country and Wales on freight trains - the offices of our big cities standing on the material freight delivered.
Timber - trying to grow the amount that we shift on rail from the UK. Not as safe on the road as it is on rail. Would need to know the sustainability angle - potentially risky.
Battersea in London Aggregates example - a terminus tucked away in the city that allows aggregates to come in, working around peak traffic, not stuck on the A14

Seasonal Stuff
How freigh moves the vast amounts of bottled water from Danone's warehouse in Daventry, Highland Spring from Blackford and Buxton Spring too.
We'd need to check this in terms of ecological messaging.
Christmas - the goods we move around the country on the freight network to get food on shelves and presents under trees.
