INTERMODAL SERVICES

Why choose EWS Network to move your containers?.... We believe we offer fresh innovation and market driven solutions to enable more containers to be moved by rail to and from Britain's major ports and terminals. In fact, we believe there are seven good reasons to use EWS Network services:

  • Speed - EWS Network operates its services at 75mph, enabling journey times to beat road haulage.
  • Reliability - Your customer needs that box delivered on time and you need a rail operator to do that. We are the most reliable operator for the movement of Intermodal containers by rail, ensuring that your box gets there, on-time in full (OTIF). In Intermodal our guiding mantra is 'you're only as good as your last on time delivery'.
  • Quantity - Whether you need one box or a whole train of containers moved, we have the right mix of multi-user and single-user services to enable your boxes to be moved even from the busiest ports and terminals in Britain.
  • Investment - Product development is at the core of EWS Network's Intermodal strategy, along with our goal to invest in capacity for more container services to and from Britain's ports. This investment is shown by our work at the Port of Southampton, which has delivered 10 extra round trips a day.
  • Knowledge - Our people are modern logistics/Intermodal professionals with experience of both the Intermodal and rail industries, enabling a bespoke service to be specially created for you. Personal contact with our customers is vital, so we have EWS Network representatives working with you at ports and terminals.
  • Nationwide - We have the unique geographic reach and resource capability through our national multi-user trunk network of services. This enables EWS Network customers to have their time sensitive container deliveries transported between all the major UK ports, terminals, and regional distribution centres nationwide.
  • Europe - We provide daily services through the Channel Tunnel to countries across Europe, which means you receive a unique, time-sensitive and inventory friendly European wide service. Furthermore, our sister French company, Euro Cargo Rail, is able to provide rail services in France to complement those provided by EWS Network in Britain.
