The UK’s rail freight company, DB Schenker, has retained the contract it has operated since 2010 in the face of strong competition. The new deal begins on June 1st 2015, for a minimum of three years, and will see DB Schenker Rail UK continue to operate six daily services on the West Coast Main Line and two on the East Coast Main Line together with maintaining Royal Mail’s fleet of 15 Class 325 mail trains.
“We are delighted to have retained the Royal Mail contract. We have enjoyed an excellent collaborative working relationship with the Royal Mail on the current contract, which includes consistently reliable delivery and considerable improvements in their Class 325 performance since we took over the locomotive maintenance.” Mark Fernandez, Acting Head of Sales at DB Schenker Rail UK said.
