Class 93 Trial for Direct Rail Services

15 July 2026

Rail Operations Group is pleased to confirm the start of the Class 93 operational trial for Direct Rail Services (DRS).

The locomotive is now operating on Anglo-Scottish intermodal services between Daventry and Coatbridge, marking an exciting milestone for the Class 93 and its introduction to operational freight services.

We look forward to seeing the results of the trial and continuing our collaboration with DRS as it progresses.
