A railhead is a terminus of a Railway line that interfaces with another Transport Mode , such as Shipping .

In the UK , railheading refers to the practice of travelling further than necessary to reach a rail service, typically by car. The phenomenon is common among Commuter s seeking a more convenient journey. There are a number of reasons why passengers railhead:

  • Discounted fares may be available on another part of the route, but not from their local station - passengers may drive further to benefit from the discount.1

  • Where the local station is served less frequently, passengers may drive to a station with a more frequent service. This is often the case on Branch Line s or at stations where most trains pass through rather than stopping.
