Packaging Company Considers Rail Link

A UK packaging company is investigating building a rail link between its factory and its nearest port in an effort to cut transportation costs.

The Iggesund Paperboard factory in Cumbria is to undertake a feasibility study looking at building a rail link between the factory and the Port of Workington, newswire The Press Association reports.

Talks are underway between the Cumbria Country Council and Network Rail to improve transport links between the port and the company.

Port managers, the Workington Harbour Board, will receive a report on all the options after the study is completed in October.
