After The Pop-Up Shop, Here’s The Pop-Up Depot

We’re all very familiar these days with pop-up shops.

I found this article on the web entitled DB Cargo UK and CEMEX introduce ‘pop-up’ rail depot.

It may not be for the general public, but this is said.

DB Cargo UK and CEMEX have opened a ‘pop up’ rail depot to serve the growing North West construction market and reduce the number of HGVs transporting materials from the picturesque High Peak countryside.

The ‘pop-up’ depot was installed in weeks on land adjacent to the West Coast Mainline using a ready-made weighbridge and office. 

The temporary site, based in Warrington, Cheshire, will handle around 125,000 tonnes of aggregates each year.

I think we’ll see the concept used more often to get those truck-loads of heavy construction materials off the roads and onto the railways.
