    The company behind a new rail freight service from Inverness to Grangemouth claims it will cut 13,000 lorry journeys a year on the busy A9 route.

    Stobart Rail, in partnership with Tesco, has launched the six-days a week service with its share of £3m funding from the Scottish Government.

    The firm also predicts the move will save 827,000 litres of fuel each year.
