GB Railfreight starts its second daily service from Felixstowe to Widnes

GB Railfreight (GBRf), one of the country’s leading rail freight providers, has started a second daily service between the Port of Felixstowe and Widnes.

This new service has been introduced following the significant demand for GBRf’s first service which commenced in October 2023.

GBRf will be running five additional freight trains a week, bringing the number of services between Felixstowe and Widnes up to 11 per week.

The additional services will remove around 500 HGV movements from the UK’s road network alleviating congestion and improving road safety – this year alone GB Railfreight has already moved over 100,000 boxes through the Port of Felixstowe.
