DADS campaigners are claiming a ctory over the rail lobby after the !feat of objections to the M25 motoray plan at the public inquiry.
Movement for London campaign !cretary Andrew Warren told pminster Round Table this week that ■ r several months before the inquiry Jere had been an attempt to whip up 'cal feeling against the London orbital )ad.
He said that the campaign had been d by Transport 2000 which, he said, as backed by the NUR, and British Rail operators of one of the largest fleets f 32-tonners in Britain. "In practice BR is heavily dependent on a continuing road investment programme. Freight wagons carry considerable amounts of sand and gravel — large quantities of which are used for the maintenance and improvement of our national road system," said Mr Warren.
There was now nothing to prevent the Brentwood to Dartford Tunnel section of the motorway being opened within two years, he added.
He called for the entire 118-mile route to be built as quickly as possible for the benefit of both industry and London residents.
