Maritime Transport has opened its Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI) at SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton.
The facility is Maritime’s ninth rail freight terminal. SEGRO invested more than EUR 93m (£80m+) in the rail infrastructure, delivering an open-access terminal capable of handling the UK’s longest and heaviest freight trains and up to 16 services per day. Container storage capacity exceeds 2,500 TEU.
The SRFI was connected to the national rail network in 2025. Later that year, a five-day-per-week intermodal service between Northampton and DP World Southampton was launched, operating over the reinstated Oxford–Bletchley section of East West Rail and establishing a new east–west freight corridor across central England.
SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton is located adjacent to Junction 15 of the M1 motorway. The 600-acre development is planned to deliver around five million sq ft of logistics space, with the rail terminal integrated into the site design.
Maritime stated it has invested more than EUR 117m (£100m) in its rail terminal network since 2019. At Northampton, the company will also deploy electric heavy goods vehicles under the government-backed Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator programme, including high-power charging infrastructure as part of the eFREIGHT 2030 project.
