I was wondering, where to the Felixstowe container trains actually go?
I have been able to find out there are a lot but not what the destinations are or how many go to each.
Anyone have said information?

Do these trains run regularly?
As they are all listed as "run as required".

The vast majority of long distance intermodal trains,
including those to/from Felixstowe run daily (either
Mon-Fri or Tues-Sat), but not all paths are used!

Because of the strategic importance of Felixstowe,
Freightmaster Online features a 24-hour timetable
for Trimley, which shows which paths are used.

Same as the Tilbury train, transfer of short sea stuff onto deep sea and vice verse.

Well yes, but are there any that actually run, or is it just something people expect might happen?

Southampton and Felixstowe are both deep sea ports, both with short sea connections so i would'nt think there would be the need to run trains between the two.

I see Bristol is listed... what services run from Bristol, i thought the only trains that ran from there went to Tilbury and/or Thamesport? I never new they went to Felixstowe.

There are two daily trains to Bristol FLT these days:

- one from Felixstowe (4V36/4L31)

- one from Tilbury (4V30/4L32) or Thamesport (4V26/4O24)
