    The stop by junction 11 on the M20 is always under-used, maybe it's too expensive; don't forget that the majority of trucks parked in our laybys are from Eastern Europe and those drivers have very little spending money on such luxeries.

    There was a news item recently about a proposal for a massive park on the outskirts of Maidstione - near Bearsted I think, where they will be transferring road freight to rail.

    We have heard many times from DHB, that rail freight is a tiny proportion of transported freight and is not worth investing in, nor is containerised freight.

    I agree there is a desire to take off as much freight from the roads as is practical, from a pollution as well as eco point of view, but there will be a cost - to "green" areas of land that will be used and if enough freight is moved to rail, will Dover still be a major employer and user ?
