Interesting point of view from DP offering fiscal incentives for customers to switch to rail. Freightliner run a DP service from Southampton to London Gateway at the weekend (<100 miles) so there is a testing of the market.
RFG News - June 2023 - Issue 160
The June 2023 issue of RFG News, the Rail Freight Group’s regular newsletter, has now been published. The RFG team were out in force at the Multimodal Show this month, as we exhibited with members on our popular Rail Freight Pavilion. Our Director General Maggie Simpson OBE was busy making the case for rail by chairing two key seminars in the Logistics UK seminar theatre. The first debate covered the digital railway and then a second seminar on encouraging more retailers to put their goods onto the network. It was a great event and thank you to everyone who came over to the stand and met with the team.
