DB Schenker Rail UK announced on April 28 that it had won 'a major new three-year contract', covering the operation of inter-modal services for Malcolm Group between Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal and Mossend Euroterminal near Motherwell. The contract was previously held by DRS, and DB Schenker says that its winning offer is based on a schedule 'that enables a single train to complete the round trip in just 24 h', compared to the one train in each direction that had been required 'to maintain the strict delivery schedule demanded by the contract'. The more 'streamlined' service developed by DB Schenker introduces 'considerable time efficiencies and cost savings, using electric traction to reduce journey times'.
