Longest freight working

[ValleyLines142]

What is currently the longest freight working operating at the moment? Is there one that follows roughly the Aberdeen to Penzance train!?

Is there still an Irvine - Burngullow china clay?

There is a Coatbridge (Glasgow) to Felixtowe Freightliner. That must be up there, especially as it goes via the North London Line and not the Nuneaton to Felixtowe corridor.

Can't find one on Real Time Trains.

I think there is a Dollands Moor - Irvine service - might have ran today as well actually

EDIT - It does exist and did run today. Left at 0305 and still hasn't arrived !!

when we changed to DBs , we had a briefing .
they told us DB does a Beijing to Hamburg service .
that's gotta be a contender !

Almost certain the longest international freight working in the UK is the twice-weekly Barking to Wroclaw (Poland) by DBS.

The Stobart Group also runs a train for fruit between Valencia (Spain) and Barking.

That working ceased last year, I'm afraid.

Other long distance workings include Italian intermodals from Hams Hall
to Domodossola and Padova (DB) and Daventry to Novara (GB/Europorte)

I can't help think that the inefficient SNCF Fret played a huge part in that. The sooner that is sold off the better in my opinion.

IIRC, that starts from Antwerp Docks in Belgium and replaced the flow from Burngullow.
