Network Rail sleepers, rails and ballast

Post by Ollieboo »

I've just been on the network rail website and I saw that they were giving away sleepers, rails and ballast. I didn't see a price but everything is recycled.

Hi Ollie, thanks for this I am aware of the network rail website. However they are a nightmare to deal with. ie: very poor to respond to emails etc.
Rail is held at Crewe and sleepers are at Doncaster

No need to apologise Ollie as Matthew said any lead is a possibility.
I'm sure the admin will be onto your access to the members area shortly.
Then you can see all the volunteering opportunities if you wish to come help out on site, make sure you come and say hello.
