British carrier introduces another rail service
GB Railfreight (GBRf) and building materials supplier Cemex have launched a new service from Dove Holes Quarry, Buxton to Crawley in UK. This was the first train to be operated by GBRf on the route to Crawley with products being conveyed on cut and shut aggregate hoppers that were repurposed from coal hoppers.
The train ran with 22 wagons and over 1,675 t, exceeding previous deliveries to Crawley by 350 t. Once business as usual has resumed, the new service is expected to run once a week.
“The addition of this new route allows us to better serve our customers, while the increased capacity takes trucks off the road and reduces congestion,” said Cemex UK’s David Hart. (ben)
