Rail is back on track: Following the turbulent times international shipping has experienced since the pandemic, we are very excited to share the news that our Express China Rail service is firmly back on track, with our latest consol boxes having arrived in the UK a mere 16 days after departure from Xi'an rail hub.
Taking the express service: Our aim is to always provide the best service possible for clients, so when presented with the option to use the express service for our LCL rail containers from China, we jumped at the chance.
The express service shaves 7 days off the usual transit time, however, only a limited quantity of containers can be booked onto the service each week. With our strong presence in the rail sector and working in conjunction with our long-term partners, Air Sea Transport, we have been able to secure weekly slots for this super-fast service.
A premium service without the premium price: Shippers using our consol rail services from China to the UK will automatically be up-graded to the express service (subject to availability), there will be no additional charge for using the ultra-fast service, making rail an even more cost effective option when compared to air.
You can trust in the train: The below data is based on verified departure and arrival dates for our China rail consol box services.
