On 24th June the 200th train departed SCS Railway’s Willesden Euro Terminal (WET) heading for CEMEX’s landfill operation at our former quarry at Barrington, with each full train carrying c.1,400 tonnes of spoil from HS2 sites in London.
Every train removes around 88 trucks from the road network.
Since the first train set off in Q4 2021, the SCS Team have delivered 281,236 tonnes from WET to Barrington, removing over 16,000 one-way truck movements from our local road networks! Not only does this deliver important environmental benefits, but it also makes a significant contribution to reducing the impact of SCS’s operations on the local community.
SCS passed on congratulations and a big thank you to their WET team, along with Railfreight Services who load the trains at Willesden, GBRailfreight who are their Rail haulier, VTG for providing the wagons and CEMEX UK who manage and dispose of the product at Barrington disposal point.
All of this has been achieved with zero lost time injuries.
