GB Railfreight has announced that it has signed a deal extension with Alvance British Aluminium.
The five-year extension will see GBRf continue to run two trains a week.
The trains transport alumina powder from the Port of Blyth in Northumberland to Fort William, where it is used to make aluminium at one of the world’s greenest metal production plants.
70,000 tonnes of alumina powder are transported by rail each year, taking up to 129 HGVs off the roads on the 250 mile journey.
