DB Cargo UK

DB Cargo UK is a British freight operator. It was formed in 1996 following the purchase of former British Rail companies Loadhaul, Mainline Freight and Transrail. Mail and parcels transport company Rail Express Systems was acquired the same year and all four companies were merged to create English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS). Later in 1996, the remaining Railfreight division Distributions was also purchased and merged with EWS.
