The Scottish Executive have awarded £200k to Eddie Stobart to move 26 Tesco containers per day from Daventry to Coatbridge. The DfT are also contributing £235k. Haulage will be provided by DRS. (26.04.06)

heavy susidised .

With ASDA proposing to open in Thurso, and Tesco committed to Wick, hopes rise for a return to rail for retail goods. (03.02.06)

Tesco sends one train per day from Daventry to Grange-mouth, five days a week, Tesco freight is loaded on the northbound journey and then a mix of Tesco and other customers' products for the return leg.

From a newspaper regarding rail freight

Round and round . . .
First almost everything was sent by rail (1950s) then again in the 1990s then it stopped and now they're trying to get it back onto rail.
