First Toyota train to the Channel Tunnel

Channel: CambriaJunction
Player
Description
First run of this service, from Toton North Yard to Dollands Moor from where they will continue to the continent. Good to see a genuine new freight flow making use of the greatly under-utilised railfreight capacity of the Channel Tunnel.

I believe the cars are made at Toyota's plant in Derby, and are destined for France and possibly the Czech Republic (correct me if I'm wrong). The return leg will import other models in the other direction.
