Freightliner Group Ltd. has announced the introduction of two additional rail services aimed at strengthening its operational links with long-standing partner Tarmac. The new routes will run between Moreton on Lugg and Hothfield, as well as Moreton on Lugg and Quainton Road, adding to Freightliner’s portfolio of bulk transport solutions. These services are designed to expand the options available for Tarmac, complementing Freightliner’s existing routes which cater to various material transport needs across the UK.
DB Cargo UK has launched operations for FCC Environment’s newly completed waste transfer facility at Forders Sidings in Stewartby, Bedfordshire. This new arrangement will see DB Cargo managing the transport of approximately 288,000 tonnes of material annually, supporting FCC Environment’s objectives in waste transfer logistics. DB Cargo’s involvement includes handling and loading the waste product for onward transport by road, with an estimated five weekly trains running from Neasden Sidings in Wembley to the Stewartby site.
Both companies’ recent initiatives reflect a continued focus on meeting specific logistical demands across industrial sectors, adding both dedicated routes and facilities to support large-scale material movement across the UK.
