Thanks Keith, but I am referring to freight train costs as opposed to passenger ticket prices for which I have no knowledge. But yes, there are lorry distribution depots all round the country, and as JHG mention`s above, Paddock Wood for one. After that fire there a few years ago, which burnt the depot down, white goods which were delivered by rail to this location ceased overnight for obvious reasons. Now, a new building quickly knocked up, and they`re back in business again. Not for rail though. Tescos have container goods delivered by rail, and even Eddie Stobart is into it now, so rail is a good option, but going back to my question above, why is road to rail not happening, in this so called environmentaly freindly country?
