    TESCO is to take 260 lorries a week off the M74 by switching some of its cross-Border supplies from road to rail.

    Stobart’s rail freight move is on track

    THE first Eddie Stobart train will pass through Carlisle next week when the haulier swaps 180,000 tonnes of road freight to rail.

    A new dedicated rail freight service contracted to supermarket giant Tesco starts on Tuesday to replace 130,000 lorry journeys and save three million road miles a year.
