Benefits of rail

DB Cargo UK has reiterated its call for the UK Government to set an ambitious target for rail freight growth. New research published today claims that trebling rail freight traffic by 2050 would deliver nearly £5.2bn in economic benefits every year and take 20 million HGV journeys off the roads.

Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has collaborated with DB Cargo UK to share its expertise of digital signalling as work continues on the East Coast Digital Programme to transform the East Coast Main Line.

DB Cargo UK, one of the leading providers of breakdown and recovery services to the UK rail industry, has taken delivery of a fleet of new welfare vans to improve the effectiveness of its field operations.
