MALCOLM Rail, a division of PD Ports in the UK, has launched a new rail service between the group's Teesport facility and Scotland.

    The new service is operated by Direct Rail Services and runs between Teesport's container terminal and Malcolm Rail's multimodal terminals in Grangemouth, which is home to Scotland's busiest container port, and Elderslie near Glasgow.

    The service was primarily set up to cater for the spirits trade but also carries other types of cargo, a statement from PD Ports said.

    It currently runs once a week, but Malcolm Rail aims to ramp the service up to five days a week.
