Everyday at exactly 1530 a train comes into Blair Atholl Station and is a container train from Inverness going to Glasgow. All the containers on it are from Tesco's Inverness area and to save lorries blocking the A9 they send all goods by container and are distributed from Inverness out. As the Highland line is single track it and a North bound passenger train meet at B.A.. Below is the sequence of events, Stobart train had 17 containers on today, some soft sided others rigid, plus a tanker, not sure what that contains only remember Hazchem for petrol was 3YE not 2?
It is still called the Stobart train as Stobart's used to run it, but I am not sure if they still do.
