Czech rail freight grows, but trips get shorter

GB Railfreight has operated the first commercial Class 99 service, running 99001 on an intermodal train from DP World London Gateway to Maritime Transport’s Hams Hall terminal.

The service handles both conventional wagonload shipments and combined transport (CT) units, covering a range of cargo types and shipment sizes.

The decision targets port to hinterland transport, with a focus on modular and integrated service offerings.
