One of the Britain’s busiest railway stations is set to take on a new role
as a freight hub as part of a plan to shuttle goods to central London from
a container port using old passenger trains.


Have I understood this right?

someone is going to take a container of stuff from the port

transfer the contents of it onto a converted passenger carriage individual
"units" at a time, presumably through side door(s)

and then at the other end empty the passenger carriage by individual units
onto little trucks

What size of individual unit is this going to work for?


Presumably pallets, or the kind of wheeled cage often used to transport
deliveries from road vehicles of whatever size, into town centre shops.

Or perhaps Bellsian autonomous 2' gauge vehicles.
