Railway helps to keep the lights on in UK
Teams at GB Railfreight (GBRf) are continuing to work closely with energy company Drax to maintain supplies of the sustainable biomass needed for the UK’s largest power station to generate electricity needed by millions of homes and businesses during the Covid-19 crisis.
Severe storms and flooding in the area near Drax in February resulted in damage to the rail tracks. GBRf has been working closely with Drax to reschedule rail deliveries and maximise capacity on the rail link while the repairs are completed.
“Recent flooding brought additional challenges to keeping services moving, however the hard work has meant that vital supplies of sustainable biomass have continued to be transported,” Network Rail said. (ben)
