With seventeen carriages in total, this is the longest freight train to arrive into IDS's railhead at Gilbraith, near Blackburn, and is carrying a 1000 tonnes of decorative panel products from one of its suppliers in Switzerland.
The company estimates that transporting goods by rail in this way has saved the equivalent of 40 articulated lorries travelling from Switzerland to Blackburn by road.
Efficient bulk logistics is all part of IDS's low carbon footprint model for the business.

Products are available on a just in time basis across IDS's nationwide distribution network.
