F3—Fast Frequent Fulfilment—Industry–Academic Collaboration
Abstract The rail freight sector has suffered a long-term decline in market share largely at the hands of road transport. Rail freight’s product and service offers have proved to be inappropriate and irrelevant for freight and logistics markets underpinned by wholly different imperatives, requirements and demands compared to bulk low-value commodities. Rail has to re-calibrate its offer to the market in operational, commercial, technical and managerial terms. The paper sets out details of a UK-based study which is examining ways in which a rail/inter-modal offer could be developed and implemented to allow rail to participate in growing inter-urban freight and logistics traffic flows. The study described in the paper is a collaboration between industry, academia and specialist experts. The output if successful could potentially be delivered into other national rail/inter-modal domains.
