Booking a Whole Train
Transporting whole trains or groups of wagons with a single consignment note (CN) for domestic or international transport brings considerable benefits to our customers. The greatest benefit is that the group of wagons accompanied by a single CN can be included in the identical train, and wagons with identical goods for a single receiver are not included in different trains, such as may happen when the load is completed up to the standard weight of the train, when the train leaves a crossing or a shunting station at the border.
Subsequently, all acts connected with handling transport documents, including acts of administrative bodies such as police, customs offices, phytosanitary and veterinary checkpoints, etc., are much more simple and prompt.
