New rail service at Felixstowe
It is the port’s 30th daily rail service and comes on the heels of the third rail terminal, which opened in June of this year and will double Felixstowe’s rail capacity.
Clemence Cheng, CEO of Hutchison Ports (UK) Limited, owners of the Port of Felixstowe, said: “The latest service brings to 60 the number of freight train movements we handle each day and will take around 1.75 million HGV miles each year off the strategic road network.”
Adam Cunliffe, managing director of Freightliner Limited, said: “The additional service to Doncaster is in response to the continued demand for quality rail services… [it] represents a further switch of volume from road utilising a new state of the art Powerhaul locomotive, allowing full use of the new North Rail Terminal’s capacity for 30-plus wagon services.”
