Rail freight traffic in Scotland has been declining yet there are many destinations with no freight on rail despite poor or even relatively poor road connections . I have long suspected the rail freight companies have little interest in serving any markets north of the Scottish Central belt . Yet Fort William has just the alumina train despite the the A82 is grossly overcrowded and unsuitable for HGVs for much its length. Ditto Aberdeen and Inverness with ZERO rail freight except one Tesco train to Inverness and cement to both cities. Why no attempt by any of the 3 to grow the market.?
