In this issue, we lead with the exciting unveiling of GB Railfreight’s hybrid Class 99 locomotive at the popular InnoTrans Berlin event. We’re also delighted to announce that DP World was named as the winner of our coveted Business of the Year award at this year’s RFG Awards dinner. The event was a great success and we were delighted to welcome so many members and colleagues to celebrate rail freight. Thanks also to our sponsors GB Railfreight & Burges Salmon, and our special guest Paul Clifton.

There’s a full gallery of images from the night here.
