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.


drivel is expecting to lay branch lines to every Tesco, didn't you know?


The Tesco at Beaconsfield was built "over" a rail track. They built a
tunnel in a cutting.


Eventually. After causing major damage due to a collapse. Strongly suspect
that tunnel was rather more expensive (to someone) than was originally
expected.
