British Steel has secured a five-year contract worth £500m to supply train tracks for Network Rail, in a move which could help safeguard the short-term future of the Scunthorpe steelworks.
The company will forge more than 337,000 tonnes of track, securing thousands of jobs, two months after the government used emergency powers to prevent the blast furnaces from immediate closure.
