There’s great news today that PD Ports (Teesport) have opened a new rail freight link into and out of our region to cope with growing demand at our port. The twice-daily service to Doncaster will remove 120 road movements every day.
Teesport is a great asset to the area and is benefiting from significant investment. As we leave the EU, Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen and I are campaigning hard for Freeport status, which would be a huge boost to jobs and growth.
