Delivering The Goods
FREIGHTLINER

The Delivering The Goods series takes an extended look at all the British rail freight companies in the decade since 2000.

This volume features the long-established Freightliner, a company which has grown from deep-sea container operator to multi-purpose freight mover in the period under review.

By making full use of modern motive power, and developing it to suit specific requirements,

Freightliner's operations have become surprisingly varied and widespread, and truly nation-wide.

 Programme sections include:

Class 70 arrival and Traction Review

Container traffic - Classes 47, 57, 66, 86, 90 and Class 70, filmed at numerous locations on the core routes to Southampton, Felixstowe and Coatbridge

Network Rail contracts - the West Coast Main Line upgrade, and Britain's longest train, the High Output Ballast Cleaner, with top & tailed Class 66s

Stone & Ballast - from Penmaenmawr, Mountsorrel and Bardon Hill, as well as a one-off working from Bury St Edmunds-Hirwaun

Coal & Coke - the imports flow from East Coast ports to the Aire Valley, the Anglo-Scottish traffic, Class 70 trials

Cement workings - with both 66/5s and 66/6s, including the unusual sight of 66603 at Teignmouth

Household waste trains - including the hired-in Class 47/8s for the Calvert bins

Stock Moves - including the removal of Southern slam-door units for scrap and the movement of redundant wagons

 Depots and servicing points - Leeds, Southampton and Ipswich

 Felixstowe - a close-up look at this busy container port and its rail operations

There's also - the Humber-Lindsey oil, the Boulby potash trains, the one-time car transporter workings and the Beeston-Cardiff scrap

Simply reading that list shows how varied and interesting Freightliner's work has become. This programme will bring you fully up-to-speed.
