Freight

In this episode we look at the work being done by the CFVN Working Group to improve the lot of ground staff and engineers in freight yards and depots, and to reduce the delays caused by the condition of freight vehicles.

Defining Very Short-Term Planning routes is resource intensive. In this episode: the importance of rail freight to the economy and environment; and how a new tool could help deliver a better customer experience.

Dougie Hill, Head of National Freight Strategy & Policy at Direct Rail Services, and Geoff Spencer, former CEO of DB Cargo (UK) talk through the challenges faced to get commercially competing companies to collaborate to deliver a better, safer railway.
