Launching a new reefer intermodal service, the trio of Forth Ports Tilbury, supermarket chain Tesco, and freight operator Direct Rail Services have partnered up to bring some Christmas cheer to rail operators, road users, and shoppers. In what the partners are calling a cool move to keep emissions on track, a new seven-days-a-week service will run from facilities at the Port of Tilbury near London on an 830-mile (1326 km) round trip to Coatbridge near Glasgow in central Scotland, replacing 40 heavy goods vehicle journeys enroute.
