New Express Freight Train for parcels.

A new express freight train that will provide a low-carbon solution for parcel transportation around the UK is being developed by Eversholt Rail.

The Swift Express Freight train is being designed with Ricardo and will see Class 321 No. 321334 converted to be able to travel at 100mph and hold up to 12 tonnes of parcels.

Trials for the new Swift Express Freight service will be launched in June 2021 following work at Wabtec in Doncaster, which is due to start in April.

The work in Doncaster will include the removal of passenger features, new flooring, container equipment and a new livery.
