Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

We don't expect government to love trucks, but we do expect ministers and civil servants to respect the essential role they perform.

We do expect balanced debate about modal switch, and we do expect road transport to get the investment it needs to continue to perform the task UK plc asks of it.

And those expectations are unlikely to be met as long as there's a Rail Freight Group (RFG) and Tony Berkeley leading it.

Together they punch above their weight, ready to whisper sweet nothings in the ear of ministers whenever freight is debated, ensuring those wonderful green trains that don't get in the way of Joe Public's cars win the day over trucks.

We know the RFG acknowledges the value of road transport but we're not sure the government realises it. Perhaps the FTA or the RHA should recruit Berkeley?
