GBRf adds intermodal train

GB Railfreight launched a new intermodal service to Felixstowe on January 23, running from Birch Coppice in the Midlands.

The train left the Midlands at 1414, arriving at the Suffolk port at 2014. It will run five days per week initially, and will be formed of 33 platforms.

GBRf Managing Director John Smith said the train is taking boxes previously bound from Hams Hall, which in turn creates additional capacity for a customer at the original site.
