Marsh sees bulk deals as BR freight winner

Abstract

Under the forceful leadership of its new chairman, Richard Marsh, British Rail is thrusting into new freight markets to offset heavy dependence on the declining coal and steel industries. Already, it has profitable contracts for bulk haulage of oil and liquid gases, and Marsh is confident that more deals like this will pull the railways out of their current £20 million deficit.
