o Selby
o Doncaster Railport
o Grangemouth
o Trafford Park Euroterminal
o Trafford Park
o Lawley Street

In addition to these interchanges, there are a large number of port-located rail terminals and small independent facilities nationwide.
The usage and available capacity of these terminals varies by facility and time of year. However, overall changes in the rail freight market means there has been an increase, in recent years, in imports and exports of containerised goods through the major ports (intermodal freight), increasing utilisation at these sites.
