RE: Colas Rail
Colas Rail UK’s Freight Unit earlier this week introduced a new to rail flow of calcium carbonate slurry from Aberdeen to Spalding as part of an expanding partnership with OMYA UK.
The train’s schedule starts in Aberdeen and it will travel overnight, be unloaded in Spalding and the product transferred by Coopers Transport Services for the remaining 25 miles to Palm Paper Ltd in Kings Lynn.

For the 500-mile journey, Colas Rail UK will utilise its state of the art Class 70 locomotive, currently the most powerful and environmentally friendly of its kind in the UK.

Simon Metcalf, Head of Rail Freight Logistics commented “The new flow represents the partnership approach by Colas Rail UK and OMYA to identify safe, cost effective transportation solutions that also reduce CO2 and environmental impact.

The exacting performance, reliability and delivery of our existing rail-freight flows has provided our client with the confidence to expand their customer portfolio even in these current testing times and beyond”
