Traffic along a key road freight axis on the #Austrian border with Italy, the #Lueg viaduct, will be reduced by 75 per cent at least until 2027. Italian local authorities are now urging to increase the use of rail freight along this corridor, especially since there is much capacity available. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

The Scandinavian - Mediterranean Rail Freight Corridor (ScanMed RFC) now has 835-metre trains crossing the #Öresund strait between #Denmark and #Sweden. Previously, trains of this length used to stop in #Fredericia, on the #Danish mainland. Now they are also crossing the islands, boosting capacity by 13 per cent. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

In an interview with RailFreight.com, Marc Vollet, EVP, European Road Network at Groupe SNCF-owned multimodal operator GEODIS, highlights that the flat-to-low-growth economic climate in #Europe has led to a weakening in freight demand, resulting in a decline in road haulage rates. This in turn is impacting the viability of existing rail freight/intermodal services and arguably making the continued development of the sector even tougher. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

Direct Rail Services (#DRS) launched a pilot connection from #Teesport, on the #English northeastern coast to #TraffordPark in #Manchester. The new service is “the first on this route to use the ultra-low #IDA wagons, which allow the use of standard high-cube containers”, DRS stated. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

After a second round of negotiations, a collective bargaining agreement between Deutsche Bahn (#DB) and trade union #EVG seems closer. The new offer presented by DB has been deemed as an improvement, especially when it comes to the DB Cargo situation. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

The #Russian rail freight industry is not happy with the new priority rules. They are too complex, opaque and are making it impossible for business to plan logistics and investments. On top of that, Russian Railways (#RZD) is reportedly also forcing unfavourable deals onto operators in the excess wagon question. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews
