Intermodal terminals

Intermodal hubs

Intermodal hubs facilitate freight transfers between transport modes and support efficient freight movement across the network. They can reduce pressure on ports and surrounding transport networks and support rail freight movement.

Victoria's rail freight network serves three key markets:

• Interstate, mainly inter-capital city freight, which operates over long distances on the ARTC standard-gauge network
• Regional, mainly export trade from regional Victoria and southern NSW, which generally operates over shorter distances on the V/Line controlled broad-gauge network, although it also uses the southern NSW regional rail network to get to the Port of Melbourne
• Metropolitan port-rail shuttles, freight services moving containers between metropolitan terminals and the Port of Melbourne, a market currently serviced predominantly by road freight.
