RAIL FREIGHT SERVICES

With increasing congestion on UK & European roads more and more clients are investigating the possibility of Rail movement for their freight. The growing reliability of Rail services coupled with governmental and environmental pressures means rail operators are increasing frequency & networks. Today Rail Freight Services offered by Embassy Freight can be a real consideration particularly for the movements of high volume traffics between associated companies and of course the traditional bulk products.

With the opening of the channel tunnel linking the UK with continental Europe, timed rail services throughout the European Union area are being operated on a scheduled basis and in more recent times a network of dedicated rail depots throughout the UK enables the service to be more fully utilised.

In particular Embassy Freight has concentrated on the development of Road / Rail movements by the use of Swapbody trailers. These specialist trailer units enable quick transfer from road vehicle to rail wagons and speed up the through transport process without the need to re-handle cargo. Many in our industry regard this multi-modal transport system as the future for land transport within the European Union area and Embassy Freight are already well placed to take advantage of this development.

Rail transport has long been part of the trough transport process offered by Embassy Freight in markets such as the USA and we continue to provide a full range of Road / Rail combinations to ensure your goods arrive at destination as quickly and has cheaply as possible.
