Why GTS Logistics UK’s rail transport ownership gives customers a competitive edge
What if you could guarantee your deliveries without relying on third-party rail operators?
Sounds like wishful thinking, right? Not with GTS Logistics UK.
While other logistics providers are still waiting on someone else’s timetable, we’re already en route – with our own rail services, fully owned and operated in-house.
That means no middlemen, no maybes, and no crossed fingers. Just reliable, on-time deliveries, all under our watchful eye.
By keeping things on track (literally), we give our customers more control, more visibility, and fewer surprise costs.
It’s a simple difference, but it changes everything.
Why rail ownership matters
Reliability. Because we own and operate our own rail services, we’re not dependent on third-party providers or external schedules. This gives us – and our customers – complete control over planning and delivery. We can respond quickly, adapt to demand, and keep goods moving without unnecessary delays. In short, it means greater consistency, fewer disruptions, and peace of mind that your cargo will arrive exactly when it should.
Cost control. Ownership allows us to manage operations end-to-end, without involving intermediaries. By removing third-party providers from the equation, we reduce unnecessary costs and maintain full visibility over pricing. This enables us to operate more efficiently — and pass those benefits on to our customers. It’s a leaner, more streamlined approach that makes smarter use of your transport budget.
Sustainability. Rail is significantly more environmentally friendly than road freight, producing 76% less CO₂ emissions per tonne moved (source: UK Department for Transport). By investing in and operating our own rail network, we’re able to prioritise more sustainable transport solutions — helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining high performance and reliability. It’s a practical step towards greener logistics, without compromising on service.
Competitive advantage
GTS Logistics UK vs. other logistics providers. Many logistics companies rely on third-party rail operators to move goods across Europe. That means they’re often at the mercy of someone else’s schedule – leading to unpredictable transit times, limited flexibility, and a lack of guaranteed capacity during peak periods. At GTS Logistics UK, it’s a different story. Because we own and operate our own rail services, we can guarantee capacity and offer far more reliable, consistent scheduling. Our customers benefit from predictable lead times, smoother planning, and fewer disruptions.
Cross-Europe reach. Our rail network isn’t just reliable – it’s extensive. GTS Logistics UK operates 25 dedicated weekly trains connecting Benelux, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. This gives us – and you – a dependable route into key European markets, with the ability to scale and adapt as your business grows. When it comes to long-distance freight, our direct control makes all the difference.
