NEW door-to-door service for the -1 delivery of Irish livestock in Great ritain was announced this week by the ational Farmers' Union. the British ailways Board and the Road Haulage ssociation.
The scheme, which becomes operational I March 28, is the outcome of negotiants between the three bodies following -itish Railways' decision to reduce the 1mber of livestock railheads for freight tins. British Railways have conceitited their livestock facilities at 42 railads in an effort to reduce the costs of rrying about 750,000 animals a yearostly store cattle for fattening on British rms—from Eirc and Ulster. (See The )Fnmercial Motor, October 9, 1964.) Arrangements have been made by the =IA for the road transport livestock hides of more than 1,500 hauliers to available to transport cattle from railads to any farm, abattoir or market in
country. The livestock exporter or iner will be able to obtain a sIngle price quotation before dispatch. This charge will include the cost of shipping, the rail journey and road delivery.
The new service is optional. A customer will still be able, if he prefers, to book his cattle through to the nearest railhead and make his own delivery plans.
