Speedy On The Right Track With New Rail Offering In Doncaster

Doncaster's booming rail industry has received a boost with the addition of a specialised rail offering in the town.

Speedy, the UK's leading provider of equipment rental and support services, has expanded facilities at its Brunel Close depot to meet increasing demand in the region for rail equipment.

The 12809 sq ft depot, which had until now solely offered lifting equipment and services, opened its doors to officially welcome customers and give them a tour of the new facilities.
