Environment
Rail freight’s environmental credentials versus road haulage are considerable particularly with increased focus on environmental issues. A tonne of goods can travel 246 miles by rail on a gallon of diesel, compared to only 88 miles by road.
“The service provided by Colas Rail is significantly better than our last rail freight provider.”
