One train can take 50 trucks off the roads.



50 trucks can go to 50 different places.

I have yet to see a Tesco with its own branch line.

Trucks on motorways don't cause anymore of a jam than cars on a motorway.

Its cheaper to load a truck and drive it to its destination and then unload
it than it is to load a truck, drive it to a rail yard, unload it, load it,
pay inflated ASLEF pay, unload it, load it, drive it to its destination and
unload it.
