Rail Freight

Rail Freight Services
Containerised rail freight across the UK, with road connections and storage solutions built in.

Overview

Prisma Logistics UK works with major freightliner operators to move containerised cargo across the full UK rail network. Rail offers a cost-effective and lower-emission alternative to road for domestic trunk movements, particularly on longer hauls where transit time and haulage cost are key considerations. Where rail alone does not cover the full journey, we provide integrated road and rail solutions including consolidated and twin-load options to make the movement commercially viable. For cargo arriving outside peak demand periods, or where onward capacity needs managing, we offer container yard storage at competitive rates to give you flexibility without unnecessary pressure on your supply chain. We will always present you with the most cost-efficient option for your specific route, load and timeline.

Rail freight produces significantly lower carbon emissions per tonne kilometre than road haulage, making it an increasingly important option for businesses with sustainability commitments or supply chain carbon reduction targets. For companies reporting on Scope 3 emissions or working towards net zero goals, shifting suitable trunk movements to rail is one of the most practical steps available. The UK's principal freight corridors connect the major deep-sea container ports including Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool and Glasgow to inland terminals and distribution hubs across the country. Prisma Logistics has established arrangements across these routes, meaning we can offer realistic transit times and reliable capacity rather than theoretical connections. If you are currently moving all your containerised cargo by road and have not reviewed the rail option recently, it is worth a conversation. On the right lanes and volumes, the cost and emissions savings can be substantial.


Smarter routing. Lower cost. Fewer road miles.
