BRITISH ROAD Services could be competing with its former sister company, Freightliner, if a customer wants a rail/road system to fulfil his needs.
This was the result of a feasibility study done by Midlands BRS for its Bromford Lane depot in Birmingham — only two miles from Spagh Junction and a neighbour British Rail sidings.
Any moves to bring sidings into the depot, wh already has a capacity of 1 containers, would bring depot into direct opposit with the nearby Freightli depot.
News of the possibilities the depot expansion v broken by Midlands B managing director Steve A at the unveiling of a n £100,000 Lansing Hen Hermes lift-truck whi allows the depot to take s more containers.
This week BRS said that I plans for the depot were stil a tentative stage. A spok man told CM that any mm in that direction would depe on customers saying that tiwanted a service like this and being prepared to pay it.
At present the Bromfo Lane depot does not strip stuff containers — the 10-ac site is used purely for t storage of containers.
