Funding the Waterloo Freight Hub: Our Latest Bid for Support Submitted
9th June 2025 / Posted by Susannah WilksCRP is very pleased to have submitted a First of a Kind funding bid to Innovate UK with partner Varamis Rail. The bid will provide a legacy phase for the Defra-funded Waterloo Freight Hub that we are already operating with Delivery Mates as part of our Smarter Greener Logistics programme.
Varamis will run parcel electric freight trains directly into Waterloo Station from the Midlands, following the application of third rail shoe gear to their rolling stock. This will enable much more freight to be moved off the roads, meaning less congestion, pollution and noise for all of us.
Keep your fingers crossed for a positive result for us!
