Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what volume of freight was moved on the rail freight line between Felixstowe and Tilbury ports in each of the last 10 financial years for which figures are available; how many road freight journeys would have been required to move that volume in each of those years; and how many extra gallons of fuel a modal switch from rail to road would have used in each of those years.
Freight volumes are a commercial matter for the freight operating company concerned and can be obtained directly from Freightliner Group Ltd.
