GB RAILFREIGHT has recently extended two important contracts with major customers in the steel and construction industries.
A new 12-year deal has been signed with Celsa Steel UK in South Wales to provide internal shunting services, remotely controlled Class 08 shunting locomotives, train crews, wagon and track maintenance until 2033. A dedicated team of crews is also now provided to manage internal rail movements and ensure continuity.
GBRf has been working with Celsa since 2011 but as part of the new contract it will take responsibility for all internal rail movements, including inbound scrap metal, hot billets for processing, and outbound movements of finished products.
Formerly known as Cardiff Rod Mill, Celsa’s Cardiff plant is the UK’s largest producer of steel reinforcing and a major supplier long steel products.
