Fastline Freight entered into the container freight market in June 2006 and has now entered into the Bulk Haulage sector with a major contract hauling coal for E.ON UK plc (E.ON).


Container Services
Fastline Freight launched its first container services from Thamesport to Doncaster in the North East and Birmingham in the Midlands. By concentrating on delivering a best-in-class service that is both customer-focused and flexible the business has now firmly established itself within this sector. The business utilises its Class 56 locomotives to service a portfolio of container customers from shipping lines to third party logistics suppliers.

Bulk Haulage
The commencement of a major contract to haul coal for E.ON marks a major milestone in the development of the Freight business as it enters the bulk haulage sector. To service this contract the business has secured five new Class 66 locomotives and 94 new coal hopper wagons. The service will haul coal from Immingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Avonmouth to Ratcliffe-on-Sour and Ironbridge power stations.
