Our Case Studies
We've been at the forefront of rail freight for nearly 60 years, partnering with businesses of all shapes and sizes to keep the UK economy moving. Here we showcase a selection of those partnerships and the values we have delivered.
Working in Partnership
At Freightliner we pride ourselves on our work and our ‘can do’ ethic, we work closely with our clients to provide end-to-end solutions that work; but don’t take our word for it, see what our clients have to say.
“Our freight partners played a key role and did a great job in helping us deliver the upgrade of the Preston to Blackpool line as part of the Great North Rail Project through the transportation and delivery of construction materials. Together, our one team approach modernised this railway to improve journeys for passengers travelling between Preston and Blackpool.”

“With the potential delays on the M4 relief road, there is no better time for companies to consider rail freight as an option. As a result of this agreement with Freightliner, FSEW is already seeing an increase in business and enquiries as manufacturers and importers experience significant delivery delays with their current transport providers.”

“We use Freightliner multimodal services to manage our imports and exports of over 4500 TEU (twenty foot equivalent unit) per annum; the vast majority of these movements are by rail. The rail service is not only less prone to traffic hold-ups, adverse weather conditions and various other delays but also enables Vale Europe Limited to plan production more efficiently. Transporting these volumes by rail hugely contributes towards minimising each container’s carbon footprint. I would recommend rail movements wherever possible.”

“In order for us to achieve our works, it was imperative we set up a good working relationship with Freightliner. Through reviews and stringent planning, following last minute work changes, we were able to book and utilise over 80 engineering trains. This type of collaborative effort shows what can be achieved when everyone works together. Thank you to all involved.”

“We are delighted with the expansion of the container yard at DP World London Gateway. Phase two of the development has added additional capacity to the vital operations and services that they offer to our port users and customers. It highlights the commitment it has made and the commercial success achieved since opening the first phase of operations in November 2013.”
