The service transports Spanish fruit and vegetable products for Tesco, the largest supermarket chain in the UK. In this first stage, fifteen loads will be transported weekly with two trains connecting the Almussafes and Barking rail terminals, which are operated by DB Cargo, the group to which Transfesa Logistics belongs.

On this route, the wagons pass through the axle changing facility at the Cerbère station to adapt to UIC gauge. In the future, current connections could be doubled or tripled depending on the performance of this initial stage and the needs of the customer.

The departure time for this express service is at 8 pm in the evening. This way, the fresh produce can be collected on the same day of the departure and the food’s maximum quality is guaranteed. In addition to this, the corresponding permits have been requested to increase the volume of the cargo to be transported on high-speed line in the UK.
