 68 aggregate hoppers are currently being constructed in Romania, with the first set of these wagons due to be delivered by June. All of these wagons are expected to be delivered to EWS by the end of October.EWS says the new fleet, such as 'omindeck' wagons for carrying steel, will enable the company to win new freight volumes to the railway as it targets traffic which currently only goes by road, making progress on EWS's plans to increase rail freight volumes in Britain.The 155 omindeck wagons have gone through an extensive design phase, and tenders have been issued for the construction of these wagons to be delivered to EWS by the end of the year. EWS says these wagons have been designed for its steel industry customers and will be multi-purpose, enabling current road-only freight movements to be won to rail for the first time. EWS has invested in over 3,000 new wagons since the company was formed ten years ago. Source: Railnews.co.uk
