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
