The UK arm of concrete, cement and aggregates specialist Cemex has moved over two million tonnes of materials by rail in 2020, and still has a month to go. Despite the pandemic slowdown, the company says it has managed to save over 100,000 road movements. The building materials sector has been applauded for assisting the economic recovery in the UK, and operators have all been keen to display their environmental credentials. On average, according to company figures, Cemex has been running over 100 trains a month, averaging almost 1700 tonnes each.
