ABP's network of ports around Britain benefit from excellent marine access and close links to the UK's internal transport infrastructure, providing swift access, to destinations throughout the nation handling over 120,000 TEU's per annum.
Located eight miles (13km) outside Birmingham in the heart of the Midlands, the 11ha Hams Hall Rail Freight Terminal owned by ABP is situated adjacent to the Nuneaton-to-Birmingham railway line and handles deep-sea and short-sea traffic to and from ports such as Southampton, Tilbury, and Felixstowe, as well as traffic via the Channel Tunnel and domestic traffic from Scotland.

These are my own views based on my own experiences.
Don't check their performance and believe it. Their performance indicators must be based on the turn around as although you scan your fingerprint at the gate, your time doesn't start until you scan it again at the office. If you scan it when you get to the office you will be booked in and asked to scan it again so they can meet their turn around times set by their managers. Give drivers some credit you do not have 5 vehicles on site with 20 mins turn around. You have 20 -30 vehicles on site with 2 hour turn around. This is based on yesterday

If you have to go, good luck. Your likely to be 2 to 3 hrs. The amount of inactivity is incredible. Watching paint dry doesn't really cover it. Absolute disgrace! Shame on ABP for allowing this to continue unchecked. They are a major contributor to the ever downward spiral of drivers wanting to do the job! They have a policy of only allowing 8 trucks on the "restricted zone" at any one time, that's OK, but also do not allow completed turnarounds off for a period up to 20 mins per vehicle. Is it a game or just a joke? Perhaps ABP could explain

Easy to locate and signage is good once in you will be required to fill out form with reference numbers before booking in .staff are all freindly and helpful.
H&s is main priority to abp and do enforce ,limited driver facilities ie toilets which are clean. Can be long turnaround times but most days 30 to 60 mins .
The yard is going through a rebuild ,

Without doubt the worst inland container terminal in the UK.
This is not aimed at the staff they do their best with a very poor management team behind them hindering them and making their job impossible.
Drivers are treated like absolute dirt - made to Q for hours before then having to Q again in the pouring rain to book in because the system is so slow.
Their website tells you how many trucks are in the terminal and the average turn around time, but this doesn't include the time that you have waited to book in - which can be hours.
Management are more concerned about you wearing gloves when

Too many bad reviews about this abp terminal ,many drivers considered this worst terminal of uk,but these compliments not enough for this terminal,actually this is worst container terminal of the world,takes hours just for lift off mt or loaded containers,mostly companies plan two jobs for drivers(10 to 12h plan)
But they forget 8 hours we need here for pick our containers.
I don't why management team just show about ppe,like put u r gloves during booking and don't care about hours of waiting.
