Freightliner's trading division Logico have launched a new service from Southampton to BIFT (Birmingham Intermodal Freight Terminal) on behalf of Allport, the UK's leading independent freight forwarder.

Commencing on 10 August, this is the 12th daily service that Freightliner operate from Southampton, to destinations in Birmingham, Cardiff, Coatbridge, Daventry, Doncaster, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester.

Adam Cunliffe, Managing Director, Freightliner Ltd, commented; "The commencement of the Southampton to BIFT service on behalf of Allport extends our already comprehensive network coverage across the UK. We look forward to providing Allport with the same exceptional service levels which all our customers receive. In addition to increasing our service offering to the Midlands, this daily train has additional capacity available for intermodal customers."
