Rail freight makes a major contribution to the UK economy, providing an efficient, green, safe and reliable way of moving goods and essential inputs around the country that also alleviates congestion on the roads. New research commissioned by the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) shows that in 2018/19, rail freight contributed £2.45bn to the UK economy, with benefits dispersed from the South of England through the industrial heartland of the Midlands, Wales and North England up into the central belt of Scotland and beyond.
