GB Railfreight, in collaboration with Maritime Transport and DP World, has marked a significant milestone in the introduction of its new Class 99 locomotive fleet, as testing progressed to the next stage on 17 June 2026, with an intermodal service successfully operating between DP World’s London Gateway and Maritime’s Hams Hall Rail Freight Terminal.
The first two Class 99 locomotives have arrived at the Port of Bristol on 9 June.
Following the order secured last year to build and supply as many as 30 Class 99 bi-mode Co’Co locomotives, Stadler has signed on 13 April 2023 a contract with GB Railfreight to provide full service for this rolling stock.
On 29 April 2022, Stadler announced that it has signed an agreement with Beacon Rail and GB Railfreight for the supply of 30 Class 99 locomotives including spare parts.
