Rail Freight Group calls on Great British Railways to show ambition

[ September 30, 2022   //   ]

The Rail Freight Group (RFG) has called for new national body Great British Railways (GBR) to set an ambitious freight growth target.

Responding to the Call for Evidence from the GBR Transition Team, RFG highlighted the potential for freight growth, and the need for GBR to work with the private sector freight operators and customers to bring more goods to rail.

RFG assistant policy manager, Phil Smart, said: “Our members want to move more of their supply chains onto rail and that will need the right partnership between GBR and the private sector. An ambitious growth target will help drive the right behaviours and build confidence in the sector. We look forward to seeing more details of the target from Government in response to this consultation.”
