China train to UK back on track
Following a difficult 2021, where soaring rail demand created by the extreme difficulties in the air and ocean freight sector contributed to operational congestion and delays, UK-based Davies Turner reports that its Express China railfreight service is getting back on track.
Originally launched in 2018, the operation remains the only direct weekly intermodal consolidation service between China and UK.
On departure from Wuhan, China, the rail service heads directly to Malaszewicze in Poland. Containers are then trucked under bond to Dunkerque in France for transport by ferry to Dover in UK, then trucked again to Davies Turner’s regional distribution centres in UK, where they are discharged, customs cleared and delivered to their final destination.
