The development of Telford International Railfreight Park was initiated through a partnership between Telford & Wrekin Council, MOD and the Homes & Communities Agency (formerly English Partnerships) in 2001.
The project culminated in the reinstatement of approximately 3km of railway line from Wellington to Donnington and the construction of freight handling and storage facilities at Donnington.
The project has been part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Advantage West Midlands.
Today TIRFP is a 46 acre/18.6 hectare site of regional, national and international importance, incorporating a rail terminal hub and 24 acres/9.7 hectares of development space.
