A winning cab ride! 🏆 Craig Wilkinson at M&S Logistics Ltd. was the winner of our loco simulator competition at this year's Multimodal Exhibition - the prize was a #Freightliner cab ride from Teesport to Doncaster on 4L87. The cab ride gave Craig an opportunity to understand how Freightliner's Intermodal Logistics operations work, how integral train drivers are for the business and how #rail freight interacts with passenger trains on the network. A huge thank you to David Adams, Competency Development Specialist at #Freightliner, for accompanying Craig!
