Hi,

sleepers are useful in the garden, but as the UK's railways
are effectively open sewers, old sleepers are filthy.

Can anyone tell me if new sleepers
are produced from certified sustainably
managed forests ("ethical wood")?

Thanks!

I recently bought some new oak sleepers from local salvage yard for £10
each! They've gone up to about £15 now but apparently they're cheap cos the
French government subsidised their production from wildblown trees following
a gale last yeat. Sound like a mickey mouse story?
