Tata Steel will supply 84000 tonnes of rail for the new South-Europe-Atlantique line - a 302 km (188 miles) long line between the French cities of Bordeaux and Tours. The steel will be manufactured in Scunthorpe, UK, before being rolled into rail at Tata Steel's mill in Hayange, north-east France, for delivery from 2014. The company will also supply switches and crossings to the construction consortium COSEA. The total value of the steel supplied will be around ?80 million (about £70 million).
