Seasonal Treatment Works for 2002 and 2010
Direct Rail Services Limited (DRS) is pleased to announce the contract award by the National Delivery Services (NDS), Network Rail for Maintenance and Operation of the Network Rail Seasonal Treatment Fleet 2009 & 2010.
Autumn Rail Head Treatment Train (RHTT) Season 2009 & 2010

Carlisle - 2 diagrams/circuits from Kingmoor TMD
Spring/Summer MPV Weed-Spraying Season 2010 & 2011 (22 weeks per year)
Anglia Region
London North Eastern Region (new region)
Due to the nationwide reduction in infrastructure renewal and investment by Network Rail, DRS has had its diagrams reduced for 2009 & 2010.
However, DRS continues to have a strong position in this market sector and is also the ONLY other Train Operating Company who has won a share of this business. The companyís expertise and knowledge in this area will continue to be its strength in today's challenging economic climate.
Simon Metcalf, DRS - Network Rail Account Manager commented: The award of the contract to DRS is testament of the quality and reliability with this type of work provided to the NDS over the last four years.
