Mossend International Railfreight Park
A game-changer for Scotland’s railfreight infrastructure and environmental ambitions.
A major expansion of Scotland’s national railfreight terminal will bring extensive commercial opportunities. Mossend International Railfreight Park will also take HGV freight off Scotland’s roads onto rail, directly contributing to the green agenda.
Additional investment in PD Stirling’s Mossend facility will drive ambition to be a leading provider of low carbon logistics, putting Scotland at the forefront of a Europe-wide network and transforming our current logistics system.
