China – UK express train restarts next week


Davies Turner is back on track with an express railfreight service to and from China for containers. The fixed-day, weekly direct rail import service from China to the UK will re-commence from 13 March after the interruption caused of the coronavirus crisis and the Chinese New Year holiday break.

 

With Wuhan, the epicentre of the epidemic, continuing to be under lockdown and the re-opening of factories in this city recently postponed until 11 March, the rail service will now depart from the Xi’an rail hub and proceed directly to Duisburg in Germany.

 

From there, the containers will be trucked to the port of Rotterdam and transported by ferry to Purfleet on the River Thames for on-carriage by truck to Davies Turner’s distribution centre, near Dartford, east of London, where they will be discharged, customs cleared and delivered. (ben)
