Should haulage firms continue to use the Channel Tunnel if the controversial lattice-work design of UV wagon remains in use?

But clearly there must be some doubt as to whether it was If the tunnel reopens with the same lattice-work design in use the FFA will clearly have to have a good look at the evidence," he adds." If there is the slightest risk then members may choose not to use it. We need to be convinced of the safety of this design but would reserve judgement until we see the results of the inquiry."
