The 21st Century has seen a shift in attitudes and approach towards transportation, for both people and freight.

Previously, business, society and government turned their back on railways, looking to the car, the bus, the lorry and the airplane to provide improved levels of personal mobility and consumer choice.

Now faced with highway congestion, concerns about the impact of transport on climate change, and often self-defeating road-building, new solutions are being demanded. Ironically, many of these ‘new’ solutions have involved our rediscovering previously ‘outmoded’ means of transport, particularly the railways. But co-ordinating the various transport modes requires more than just timetables – integration needs to link differing technical, operational and commercial cultures, creating a new sustainable transport infrastructure, involving both public and private sectors.

Recognising the challenge in breaking down traditional single-moded mindsets, in 2002 we created a new vehicle to drive forward new solutions for transport – Intermodality.

For almost a quarter of a century we have provided a range of services, a team of specialists, access to a network of supporting professionals, all with a ‘can do’ approach.

Our expanding project and service capability has expanded, working in close collaboration with a hand-picked group of experienced subject matter experts and support teams, to include:

  • Planning application and expert witness support;
  • Freight and passenger interchange and infrastructure design;
  • Topographical and ground investigation surveys;
  • Track, signalling and overhead electrification design support;
  • Multimodal logistics across road, rail, sea and air transport;
  • Sustainable energy and carbon capture & storage projects;
  • Engagement with infrastructure managers on adjacent developments, including industrial, residential and power / gas infrastructure;
  • Media production for printed and online content, including CGI simulations.

Our work in helping clients deliver new projects has been recognised by the UK Rail Freight Group, Intermodality collecting the award for Support Service Provider of the Year in 2011. In 2013 we collected first prize for rail freight at the EIT innovation competition on behalf of client Stobart Group. In recent years we’ve also sponsored the Excellence in Mode Shift Award, part of the Logistics UK’s Logistics Carbon Reduction Scheme’s annual awards. We’re also registered with the RISQS Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (No.6688), and are members of the Rail Freight Group and Logistics UK.
