Gbrf announces new service from Port of Tyne
Connecting to Yorkshire and the Midlands
As the country continues to struggle with supply chain issues, GB Railfreight (GBRf) has announced that it has successfully operated a series of intermodal services from the Port of Tyne to strategic rail hubs in Yorkshire and the Midlands.
The campaign saw GBRf operate multimodal services from Port of Tyne to Yorkshire twice-a-week in addition to services to the Midlands once-a-week.
This series of multimodal services comes as the Port of Tyne welcomes multimodal traffic to help ease the strains caused by simultaneous increased consumer demand and supply chain challenges, ensuring the delivery of goods across the UK.
John Smith, CEO of GB Railfreight, said:
“As import volume levels grow, this campaign of services demonstrates how rail freight can offer a real solution to the current issues facing our busiest deep sea ports.”
