Combined Transport can fill a freight trains with various different kinds of cargo to travel in the same direction. The capability for road positioning on the first/last mile means that intermodal freight connection between any point of origin with any final destination is possible.

ADR - RID

As most DG courses have been cancelled and the possibility for tank tests is limited in these times, several multilateral agreements as to how to continue have been initiated.

It’s RID 1/2020 and ADR M324 concerning the Safety Adviser AND drivers certificates and RID 2/2020 and ADR M325 concerning the periodic and intermediate inspection of tanks AND RID 4/2020 and ADR M327 concerning of the periodic and intermediate inspection of gas containers..

The ADR agreement can be found on UNECE homepage https://www.unece.org/trans/danger/multi/multi.html (also here, please check if your country has signed the agreements).
