What happened to Fastline Freight?

Ever wonder how to kill a perfectly good freight company? Give it a parent like Jarvis plc. For five years, Fastline Freight looked the part: smart locos, big contracts, and a solid plan. They had brand new Class 66s and just enough temperamental Class 56s to keep things spicy. 🌶️ The problem? They were owned by a company famous for low balling contracts and high profile derailments. Join us on RailwayMayhem for the story of a great operation doomed by its walking disaster of a parent company. It's a masterclass in corporate failure.
