More rail connections for Felixstowe
GB Railfreight (GBRF) has started a service with five weekly roundtrips between the port of Felixstowe and Daventry in the UK. The new offer increases the number of destinations that are connected by rail from Felixstowe, GBRF said. The new train will remove up to 100 long distance HGV movements from the UK’s road network per day.
GBRF operates over 2,000 trainloads a week, moving 22% of Britain’s railfreight, the carrier said. Its fleet consists of 170 locomotives and over 1,800 wagons which transport goods for Aggregate Industries, Drax, Hitachi, HS2, MSC UK, Network Rail and Tarmac, for example. (ben)
