Port of Middlesbrough owner and operator AV Dawson has been granted clearance to take ownership of the railway goods yard, to start work on its £3 million investment that will increase its rail-borne freight business.
There were no objections to the deal, which was due to be completed by the end of August. Network Rail needed clearance from the Office of Rail and Road to proceed with the sale.
The works at Middlesbrough will centre on a new £1.8m rail discharge system and conveyer feeds to the warehouse and external storage pad, a £1m buildings upgrade, new workshop and stores, and £450,000 track realignment and drainage replacement.
