Good to see a little bit more freight on the railways. There was a company years ago called lovat spring and they used the VGA vans to transport their spring water.

This is brilliant, this could mark the reigniting of proper mixed goods trains!

Living like i do just 15 minutes away i was rather annoyed that i missed this event. Still it shouldn't be long now before we get a regular service out of here. Thanks for sharing and a great piece of filming.

It’s high time they brought the station back to Blackford.

@goneloco1 Год назад

This is on the site of the former station so that will never happen now.

@inter7city452 Год назад

I wish but there isn't much of a point because Gleneagles station is a mile or two away

A type 5 with 4 wagons? It's like the 1950s :)

@GJ37425 Год назад

Haha, adds a bit of variety at least

Will these services be used for Tesco by any chance?

@SteamboatWilley 2 года назад

The new yard is primarily to serve the Highland Spring bottling plant, but I think they would welcome other local users. Where is the nearest Tesco?

@graham2954 2 года назад

@@SteamboatWilley Blackford is kinda half wae between stirling and perth. Probably perth. Might be a wee tesco in auchterarder. Not worth stopping a train for though.

@jamieh3772 Год назад

tesco boxes are used but only for the water.

@jamesbraithwaite478 2 года назад

Has that line not been down that long?

@GJ37425 Год назад

The construction for the sidings started around February this year

@None-zc5vg 2 года назад

Who paid for the terminal's construction ?

@billsinclair7878 Год назад

Mainly the taxpayer. +£4.5M civil costs, +£8.5M rail (so far). Highland Spring ~£4.5M.

@jamieh3772 Год назад

the crane cost 1.5 million and is the only one of its kind in the world due to the amount of sound proofing required as to not piss off the residents of blackford..
