LOGISTICS specialist Carousel says it is looking forward to expanding its relationship withVaramis Rail after the company’s weeknight parcels trains between Birmingham International and Mossend became part of itspan-European delivery network.
Following trials in October 2022, Varamis launched its return service in January, using Eversholt Rail-owned Class 321 electric multiple unit No. 321334, which has been converted for logistics use. “Not only does this high speed electric train drive our journey toward carbon neutrality, it is also faster than the dieselfuelled alternatives,”said Carousel’s UK managing director Andrew Lowery.“We’re looking forward to expanding our partnership with Varamis Rail as they add more capacity to this route and sustainably connect more British cities.”
“Carousel Logistics has been instrumental in helping us design a route that meets the need of time-critical delivery services,”added Varamis managing director Phil Read. “For this venture to be successful, it must serve industry.”
