New train service links DP World ports
A new intermodal train service will connect DP World’s container terminals at London Gateway and Southampton.
THE DP World operated service – which ran for the first-time last weekend – is scheduled every Saturday carrying cargo including fresh fruit, beverages and consumer goods in less than five hours. The train takes up to 120 lorries a week off the roads and cuts carbon emissions by up to 80%.
DP World plans to increase the frequency of the train next year.
DP World UK commercial & supply chain director John Trenchard, says: “This new rail service will make it even easier for our customers to switch volumes quickly and easily between the two locations, which means greater flexibility and choice.”
