A NEW OVERNIGHT road seryid—called Nightline Express —has been set up to link the North East with Heathrow airport.
The service is operated jointly by the Heathrow-based APS (Transport) Ltd and Darlington Charter Freight Services, which serves Newcastle and Teesside airports.
The idea is that airfreight shippers can get their traffic on early morning long-haul flights from London with the minimum delay. Deliveries are claimed to beat the cut-off time for load assembly for most early departures from Heathrow.
Besides airfreight traffic the service also carries general distribution freight in both directions. This traffic is delivered during the normal working day.
