View websiteFreightlinerFreightliner is the UK's leading rail logistics company, moving containers and heavy goods across the national rail network.
Freightliner consists of two divisions, serving distinct customers and operating in separate markets. The intermodal division transports containerised freight, operating more than 80 rail services and handling more than 2,500 containers every day. The business is focused on the four main deep-sea ports in South East England and also Liverpool in the North West, and provides shipping lines and merchants with a cost-effective alternative to road transport. The heavy haul division serves markets where road transport is uneconomic, principally in the coal, infrastructure and aggregates industries. Heavy haul has grown strongly since its launch in 2000. | ||
