The importance of our railways in the movement of sea containers
cannot be overstressed. Industry figures suggest that one in four
of all containers arriving at UK ports move onwards via the UK rail
network. This is particularly significant to the railfreight sector
given the dramatic downturn in coal traffic in recent years. Four
of the country's major players in the freight sector -
Freightliner, DB Cargo, GB Railfreight and Direct Rail Services -
all move significant volumes of container traffic to almost all
parts of the UK. This book takes a look at these movements, from
the major ports of Felixstowe and Southampton to destinations as
far afield as Bristol and the Scottish Highlands. John Jackson
takes an in-depth look at the diversity of locomotives and
container wagons used on these services provided by these key
players on our twenty-first-century railway.
