DEVELOPER FOUR Ashes Ltd has begun a second round of consultation on plans for a new strategic rail freight interchange (SRFI) next to the railway between Wolverhampton and Stafford. The West Midlands Interchange is proposed for a 297-hectare site near the village of Four Ashes, close to Junction 12 of the M6 motorway. Consultation on the plans runs until 30 August. The proposed development includes an intermodal freight terminal with connections to the West Coast main line capable of accommodating up to 10 trains per day of up to 775 metres in length. This would be accompanied by up to 743,200 square metres of warehousing and ancillary service buildings. The plans have been refined following the first round of consultation, including the addition of a new road.
