RAILWAY contract and maintenance company GrantRail has signed a major new deal with Lex Vehicle Leasing for the supply of 150 Ford vans. The vans come complete with ply lining and racking.

In the event of a breakdown, LVL has agreed to arrange for the load to be delivered. Traditionally, Grant hired its vehicles on a short term basis but after a 12-month study, decided contract hire would be the most cost-effective way to run the fleet.
