Looking for a supplier of cheap railway sleepers, any ideas ?


Do you want real hardwood sleepers or ....

Many garden centers places sell treated softwood blocks of wood the "same"
size as a sleeper but they have never been near a train. These can be
cheaper than recycled oak sleepers. For example many garden centers and
Builders merchants sell wood products from "Forest"...

They have 20 different types of sleeper.. Everything from £17 to £56 each
depending on the grade and woodspecies. Oak sleepers are very expensive but
then all oak is expensive.
