We’re doing what we can to help the planet – from moving to electric locomotives to helping cut the UK’s carbon footprint.

The average aggregate train can move 1800t of material in one journey, the equivalent of 55 articulated lorry journeys.
An average freight train produces 74% less CO2 for each tonne of goods moved, helping companies across Britain meet their environmental targets.
At GBRf, we are committed to the global ambition to reach Net Zero by 2050 in order to slow down the devastating impact of climate change.
