Freight through Burton-on-Trent station, hour by hour
Freight is booked through or alongside Burton-on-Trent station on 591 paths in the week beginning 12 October 2026: 110 paths on the Wednesday, 51 paths on the Saturday and 14 paths on the Sunday. 73 of them run whatever the traffic; the rest are held in the timetable and used only when there is something to move. The busiest hour is 12:00 to 13:00 on the Wednesday, with 9 paths booked.
The grid counts the goods trains booked to pass in each hour of the week beginning 12 October 2026: the darker the hour, the more paths, and a dot marks an hour with at least one path that runs regardless. Engineering trains, empty stock and light engines are not counted. Across Britain only about a fifth of booked freight paths run on a given day, so a booked path is a possibility rather than a promise; the freight statistics page explains how that is measured.
