A new high-cube capacity container train service has been introduced from Teesport to Mossend and Grangemouth in central Scotland.   PD Ports, operator of the deep water port at Teesport, and rail freight operator EWS, announced the new rail service, saying it is expected to help customers significantly reduce their average inland transportation costs between Teesport and central Scotland.   The train is able to convey high-cube capacity containers up to 45ft in length.   "British industry has been demanding a rail route to Scotland from Teesport that can accommodate high cube containers," said PD Ports group development director, Martyn Pellew.   Eyefortransport
