The Mode Shift Revenue Support (MSRS) Scheme assists companies with the operating costs associated with running rail or inland water freight transport instead of road, where rail or inland waterway transport
is more expensive. The scheme is designed to facilitate and support modal shift, generating environmental and wider social benefits from reduced lorry journeys on Britain’s roads. The scheme operates in two parts:

  • MSRS (Intermodal) for the purchase of intermodal container movements by rail; and
  • MSRS (Bulk and Waterways) for the purchase of other freight traffic movements by rail and all movements by inland waterway.
