London Gateway has direct dual-carriageway access to the A13, and the M25 is about ten miles away, linking to the M11, A12, M1, A1 and M4. By rail, eight tracks on the dock handle 22 trains a day, serving inland terminals including Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff and Glasgow.
Trains leave London Gateway every day
For stock heading to the Midlands, the North or Scotland, rail can take a whole trunk-road leg out of the journey. Containers leave the terminal from eight rail sidings on the dock, with Riverside Logistics handling the movement at both ends.
It's particularly well suited to higher volumes and businesses with carbon reporting obligations.
