  Roger - I agree that we should be seeking appropriate investment as part of T2 to build a railhead for containerised freight, which could be loaded at Calais on trailers then driven from the ship to the railhead at Dover for onward movement by train. Railheads do have an impact on goods vehicle movement as they reduce journey lengths and are particularly effective for high volume products. They are not the only answer and some form of road charging will also go some way limiting journeys and if not the money must be ring fenced to pay for road maintenance etc. which ultimately reduces the burden on the man in the street as County Councils would not need to raise so much from Council Tax payers for road maintenance.
