Freightliner expands in Yorkshire
Freightliner Group Ltd is pleased to announce they have taken over the operating lease of Doncaster Rail Freight terminal.

The site, owned by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council, was previously operated by DHL Exel Supply Chain. Freightliner took over operations at the terminal at 0600 yesterday morning the 25th March 2008.

Freightliner regards the acquisition as an important step in the development of inland transportation from the international gateways as recently highlighted in the Eddington report. Freightliner plans to expand capacity at Doncaster to facilitate the growth in the deep-sea container market and to encourage more freight to be transported by rail. Doncaster is ideally situated to serve the major conurbations in the Yorkshire area.

Peter Maybury, Managing Director, Freightliner Ltd; "Our terminal network is crucial to linking the various aspects of the intermodal logistics chain, clearly differentiating the Freightliner product from other rail borne offerings, and is key to our position as market leader. The acquisition of Doncaster will further enhance this network and enable us to continue to offer complete rail focused logistics solutions to our customer base."
