[QUOTE="MuppetUK, post: 408815, member: 16839"] I've also seen trains Hauling lots of UPS trailers in the US. I've never heard of UPS doing that here in the UK. Obviously the US is a vast country whereas the UK is very small and densely populated in comparison making moving trailers by train a lot less viable. There are some companies that do though. Eddie Stobart, one of the biggest european hauliers moves a lot of freight by train using multi-modal conatiners, mostly from europe to the UK though i believe. Stobart has a big contract with Tesco (one of the biggest UK supermarkets) and they ship food by Rail between England and Scotland. I suppose we may move parcels by rail between England and Scotland if the volume picks up significantly as UPS have 50 Krone Multimodal trailers aquired with the Lynx aquisition and the Tamworth Super hub isd right next to a rail freight depot.
