DB Cargo extends freight contract

DB Cargo UK has signed a new contract with long-standing customer Tarmac. 

The contract means DB Cargo UK will continue to deliver aggregates by rail from Mountsorrel Quarry in Leicestershire, coming into force on April 1. 

Using rail supports Tarmac’s ambitions to increase its rail freight capacity to aid delivery of the UK’s infrastructure and road ambitions and reduce transport CO₂ levels by 10% per tonne by 2020.
