The Port of Grangemouth has opened a multimillion-pound rail freight hub with the arrival of its Aberdeen freight train service.
The new rail freight hub at Scotland’s largest port helps it to further secure its position as the key strategic freight and export/import hub for Scotland, with a direct link to the port’s busy container terminal.
The new dual rail siding can handle the longest freight trains on the UK network, and is the first rail freight terminal to offer this and provide enhanced container/domestic intermodal options. This is particularly useful for customers in the food, drink and perishables sectors across the Scottish freight community.
