Rail Store Ltd (Tel: +44 (0) 1 708- 4561 1 1) has launched a new integrated railroad service that it claims will offer substantial cost-savings to importers and those involved in distribution throughout the UK. The company, which recently completed a major programme of investment in new plant and facilities,reports that the take-up from businesses in the decorating/paint industry alone is particularly significant.

Rail store operates a modern seven-acre warehouse and rail-transhipment complex at Romford. This is situated alongside the main London-Harwich line,with a private 900ft rail-siding to offload consignments coming in by rail from the continent via the tunnel.

The company has direct computer links with the railfreight operators,providing countrywide control as far as linked continental ferry ports. Next day distribution around the UK is said to be guaranteed by Rail store through its membership of the nationwide palletised Organisation Palletline, as well as through its own fleet of transporters carrying mixed cargo.
