EWS do (or did) have an Enterprise network which extended the reach and footprint of railfreight and gave at least some notion of an entry level railfreight operation. Freightliner are firmly in the full-trainload only camp. You can forgive DRS and GBRf to an extent because of their small size but Freighliner are the most profitable rail company yet the most risk-averse. (Some might say these two factors are mutually correlated). They are also the biggest intermodal haulier by a country mile with an established network of terminals. I'm not condemning them but I stand by my criticism of them
