[IT letter] Sharp decline in rail freight

So Fasttrak is not exactly a courier service as I thought rather an crap postal service but faster.
If they dont take things the size of a small office printer then they are doing themselves out of alot of business.
So fasttrak dont have any contracts with local couriers to get items to and from the station which is crazy.

whats the point in having to ring a courier to bring your item to the station then ring fasttrack to bring the item to say dublin then ring another courier to bring it to its drop off point

The ideal would be to take anything that could be reasonably easily moved without a pallet lift and have local couriers contracted to collect and drop off the items from the station. one point of contact minimal hassle.
Do fastrak have any contracts for the likes of UPS or DHL??
