Colas Rail UK 2023 Review

Freight

Safety Highlights FWI remains below the target of 0.025 , for 3rd consecutive year Zero RIDDOR since June 2020 Opening of 2 new welfare facilities in Doncaster and Carlisle Over 70% improvement in staff reporting preventative actions in CARL Road risk reduced by 44% below target Through staff vigilance & professionalism 15 high risk incidents due to 3rd Party actions were avoided Over 80k tCO2 saved by running Colas Freight services vice road haulage

Our Freight team have had another safe and successful year, maintaining profitability despite a challenging year with an unprecedented reduction in Network Rail SCO Possession orders, which significantly impacted the revenue. Being the fastest growing Freight Operating Company in the UK, the team managed to grow our Commercial Freight presence, as well as operating additional Rail Head Treatment Trains (RHTT), and doubling the operation of Video Inspection Units (VIUs). We also successfully extended both SCO Haulage and Infrastructure Monitoring contracts until 2027. Safety has been a key focus this year with safety improvements seen across the board. Fatigue management was also high on the agenda with initiatives put in place involving management support and routine assurance checks.
