We continue investigations and planning for a Judicial Review to prevent GRIDLOCK and POLLUTION 

The Rail Freight Interchange is not feasible for a rail interchange so will bring, daily, thousands of additional HGVs and other vehicle movements to our already congested roads. Our roads will become less safe to use and the air quality in St Albans will become even more polluted. The engineering work on the Elstree tunnels, that is needed to accommodate freight wagons on the Thameslink line, would cause months and months of disruption to the busy commuter services so this is likely to never happen and be replaced by HGVs only and will no longer be a strategic piece of infrastructure.

The land required to build the site is currently owned by Herts County Council. Residents of St Albans and surrounding areas have been informed, without consultation, that this land will be sold to SEGRO for the development of the rail freight interchange.
