(-LOSER co-operation between road hauliers and the railways had become a much more urgent issue now that the railways had dropped all pretence of being the universal providers of transport that they were a hundred years ago, and now that many hopelessly uneconomic services were to be discontinued, said Mr. Cyril Robinson, vicechairman of the R.H.A. Eastern area, at the Association's Great Yarmouth sub-area dinner in Lowestoft on Wedneaday.

Trade, industry and the public need • not have the slightest qualms about their 'traffic, he said; the road haulage industry was confident that it would be able to take up at the point where the railways left off. But the task would be made easier by the establishment of a satisfactory working arrangement enabling hauliers to know in advance where the new demands were likely to arise.
