flexibility colin.
the trend towards just in time transport has been going for some time, due to costs that businesses incur with warehousing.
the road truck collects direct from the factory and delivers direct to the consignee.
with rail freight it goes factory to railhead, railhead to destination railhead, then has to be unloaded and reloaded again before final delivery.
having said that i feel sure that there is still some bulk cargo that could go by rail, thus unblocking the road system.
