On 10 May, Tilburg acquired a new block train service connecting it with Nanjing in China. The first journey started from Nanjing Yaohua Gate Station and is expected to arrive at the railway terminal owned by the Dutch logistics company GVT in Tilburg in 18-20 days. An east-bound train that will travel back to the Chinese province of Jiangsu, where Nanjing belongs, is already in the works.
