These twin tracks used to provide a vital link in moving refined oil to all parts of the UK by rail. Whilst it appears these days are no more with road transport now the preferred method of bulk distribution, these incoming tracks to the former BP Oil Refinery at Grangemouth and the extensive sidings behind lie empty and disused - it's not all bad news. A SECOND rail connection (single track) in Image still allows trains to enter the INEOS refinery.
