RAIL has reported that Europhoenix train licence will be sold to DBI Holdings to allow the company to run its own trains, after buying the remaining Class 60s from DB Cargo UK. DBI currently uses Colas and GB Railfreight to transport its aggregates. Because it’s in my magazine (latest issue...

Will the Class number change?

Thank you Is it a regular thing then and is it in addition to GB Railfreight weekly stone train

South isn’t far and neither is town. Given that it was only used in peak hours since 1970, no weekend service and only the bays were used, it wasn’t worth keeping. It was in the way of the fast lines as mentioned but it didn’t serve any purpose that the other stations couldn’t fulfill 1772054461...

Wasn’t it located on the fast lines of the Brighton main line?

is there a chance it could become regular? 1771879503 also was it Freightliner or Heavy Haul Rail?

Where is Briggs?

Is this in addition to GBRF?

Any updates on the DB test runs or the Grimsby dock branch reactivation

Have there been any freight movements around Grimsby recently?

I haven’t posted a thread in a while but been wondering how could UK boost its modal share of freight by rail from 8% to reduce carbon omission? Removing HGVs from motorways and on to rail but with capacity a severe issue what ideas or solutions could help increase it from 8%?

Didn’t those rights lapse?

I’ve seen Preston to London but even the Blackpool extension surely needs ORR approval no?
