## Description
Network Rail requires a 24/7 road haulage service to manage the collection, haulage and delivery (including loading and offloading) of materials by road, including, but not limited to: sleepers, short rail, rail ancillaries, aggregates (loose or bagged), switches & crossings, troughing, manufactured materials, and large and abnormal loads, including, but not limited to: locomotives, tampers, rolling stock and specialist switches and crossings to a specified location. The requirement over the previous two years has made ~35,000 individual journeys on a yearly basis covering the entire UK and ~100 international journeys utilising vehicles ranging in size from vans to large extendable flatbeds and cranes.
