Tesco gets own freight train to Inverness
Inverness has long carried the alternative title of “Tesco Town” but there’s something almost surreal about the news that Tesco is going to have its own dedicated freight service to Inverness:
Freight service to cut congestion
Stobart Rail, in partnership with Tesco, has launched the six-days a week service with its share of £3m funding from the Scottish Government.
Stobart Rail was awarded a Freight Facilities Grant of up to £982,000 to help transport Tesco goods between Grangemouth and Inverness.
The goods will be collected from Tesco’s distribution centre in Livingston, delivered to Grangemouth, and taken to the rail terminal in Inverness.
Deliveries will then be made to stores in Inverness, Aviemore, Wick, Dingwall, Elgin, Thurso, Ullapool and Forres.
