Letter: Where are the freight trains?

Letter: I saw in the Shropshire Star on October 24 that the Telford Railfreight Terminal opened its doors for a tour.

There's not many trains to see. I walk my dog most days along the footpath by the depot and I have only seen two trains since it opened.

I have been told there have been 13 trains — that is two per month. It can manage four trains per day, when are going to see four trains per day?

Is it a white elephant? Can someone give us the details on what is going on?

After the depot I walk through Hortonwood industrial estate and on weekdays every other vehicle is a lorry or van delivering to the factories. When are we going to get any of them on to the railway?

I wonder.
