Responding to the publication by the Department for Transport of its rail freight strategy, Elizabeth de Jong, director of policy at the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents train operators and Network Rail, said:
“Rail freight is crucial to Britain, helping to ensure supermarket shelves are full, next day deliveries arrive the next day and the traffic keeps moving by taking thousands of lorries off the road.
“The sector is changing and in this strategy, the rail industry has come together to set out important actions that will support freight companies to continue to innovate. The UK rail freight industry is recognised as a dynamic and environmentally-friendly means of transport and this strategy will help companies exploit new and existing markets.
“RDG will continue to work with government and the wider industry to develop the four priority areas identified in this strategy – innovation and skills; network capacity; track access charging; and, telling the story of rail freight.”
