Building resilience through rail: the GTS Logistics UK advantage

Resilience isn't a nice-to-have. It's your plan A and plan B.

Because if there’s one thing you can guarantee in logistics, it’s that something will go off schedule. Delays happen. Roads get blocked. Things break. But your supply chain doesn’t have to.


At GTS Logistics UK, we don’t rely on borrowed capacity or third-party rail slots. We own the rail infrastructure. That means we’re in control when it matters most – keeping your goods moving, even when things get messy. Fewer surprises. Faster fixes.


It’s not just about having a backup plan. It’s about having the right one built in from the start.

Industry issues

Strikes, delays, and border friction aren’t rare curveballs anymore – they’re part of everyday logistics life. Whether it’s industrial action slowing down road freight, long queues at customs, or last-minute hold-ups at ports, these issues can wreak havoc on timelines and budgets.


That’s why we’ve built resilience into every route. Our owned rail network gives us the flexibility to pivot quickly when plans change. No waiting on third-party carriers. No scrambling for solutions. Just alternative options ready to roll.


And because rail often crosses fewer borders—or handles them more efficiently – you can dodge the worst of the red tape, cut down delays, and keep goods moving smoothly. That’s a big win, especially in a post-Brexit world.



GTS Logistics UK’s response

  • Control of train schedules. We don’t wait for someone else’s timetable. Because we run our own rail services, we can plan departures and arrivals to suit your needs – not what’s left over. That means fewer surprises, fewer delays, and a lot more control when things get unpredictable.

  • Guaranteed capacity. No more crossing your fingers and hoping there’s space. With GTS, your goods always have a spot. We’ve invested in our own rail infrastructure so you don’t have to fight for room or reshuffle your plans at the last minute. Your cargo, your schedule – every time.

  • Flexibility to reroute. Road blocked? Port backed up? Strikes causing chaos? No problem. We’ve built flexibility into our network so we can quickly switch things up when needed. That means your goods keep moving while others are stuck waiting. It’s logistics without the panic.

We don’t just talk reliability

It’s easy to make big claims in logistics. We prefer to show what we’re doing. Like running 25 trains a week from Benelux to Italy – week in, week out. That’s not a nice idea on a spreadsheet, it’s real capacity you can count on. Reliable movement. Fewer hiccups. When we talk about control and consistency, this is what it looks like in practice.

Your one partner for every journey

Building resilience is essential for any logistics organisation. But building trust? That’s just as important. At GTS Logistics UK, we don’t just move goods from A to B – we build long-term partnerships rooted in reliability, transparency, and consistency. You can trust us to be there at every stage, not just when things are going smoothly, but when challenges arise too. We’re in it for the long haul – alongside you, every step of the way.
