Client: Mountpark The Oxford Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (OxSRFI) is a proposed 6.5 million square foot logistics hub situated near Junction 10 of the M40. Designed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), the development will combine road and rail infrastructure to enhance sustainable freight movement. It includes a state-of-the-art rail freight interchange, providing direct access to the national rail network, and various green initiatives such as Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to manage surface water and minimise environmental impact. OxSRFI is expected to generate significant economic benefits by reducing road congestion and carbon emissions, while creating new jobs and supporting local business growth.
