It has been 20 years since the first train load of goods left Grangemouth for the newly opened rail terminal in Daventry in the English Midlands. Operated by Direct Rail Services for customer WH Malcolm the train carried glass from Alloa to be used for bottling lager and making coffee jars. The northbound train returned the next day with petfood, pallets and some retail traffic.
