Rail freight services
The Potter Group is one of the UK's leading independent rail freight terminal operators providing road and rail transhipment services for conventional wagons, swapbodies, containers and ISO tanks. With extensive receipt, warehousing and dispatch facilities, the Group is able to handle every stage from loading to final delivery.
The Group's three rail connected freight distribution services in Yorkshire, Merseyside and Cambridgeshire are conveniently located close to motorway routes, with links to major ports and the Channel Tunnel. Fully equipped with shunting locomotives, intermodal handling equipment, bulk discharge and covered areas for unloading high capacity freight wagons, the centres can take full advantage of both full train loads and single wagons.
Increasing use of rail freight services reflects growing awareness of its significant commercial and environmental advantages, helping to reduce road congestion and lowering pollution levels.
The Group's road and rail freight centres have extensive experience in dealing with products as diverse as textiles, paper, bottled water, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and building products. Goods can be shipped either in containers or in bulk directly from the port of entry for safe and secure offloading under cover. Goods can be transhipped by road or held in store for order preparation and dispatch.
The Potter Group is committed to the future of rail freight transport operations and is active at all levels in promoting the benefits of switching goods from road to rail. For further information visit the Rail Freight Group's website www.rfg.org.uk.
