It's quite telling that when rolling stock needs to be moved around

Nonsense.


True - the tax on goods vehicles goes nowhere towards paying for the
damage they do to roads.

Oh, indeed, but no-one mentioned goods vehicles. Do moving goalposts
count as a transportation method? Besides, there's differential pricing
on rail, too.

really, the bulk of this thread has been about transporting goods, in
containers or otherwise.
