direct rail services

Direct Rail Services (DRS) is a freight operating company owned by British Nuclear Fuels Limited. The company started rail operations in 1995 using heavily refurbished Class 20/3 diesel locomotives. Since then it has expanded greatly, and has acquired many more locomotives, most bought second-hand any subsequently refurbished. DRS now operates all nuclear-flask trains in the country, which were previously operated by EWS. The company has recently started running intermodal trains from Coatbridge to Daventry using its newly acquired Class 66 locomotives. Its locomotive fleet is based at Kingmoor depot in Carlisle, which reopened during 2000. There are also facilities at Sellafield depot in Cumbria, and Crewe is used as a stabling point.
