By offering more departures, we can provide an EVEN FASTER SERVICE!
We're thrilled to announce that, in response to overwhelming demand, we're doubling our LCL weekly China – UK rail departures from two to four. This means that our rail clients will now experience even greater door-to-door transit savings.
With services departing every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, we are achieving a decrease in time between cut-off and departure, saving you even more time on what is already the fastest, low CO2 impact option available in the market.

Rail is the fast, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable option
Rail freight services deliver transit time savings of up to 30 days compared to ocean freight and are proven to be significantly cheaper than air freight.
Studies have also revealed that our LCL rail services beat the sea/air option from China to the UK on both cost AND transit time!
In addition, rail emits up to 70 times less CO2e compared to air freight, helping shippers meet their environmental targets.
