g t's time for us to face the reality of
/ what rail can achieve. A prime
example is the 44 tonnes road/rail debate. Last year I said the proposals for combined transport were the sop that would satisfy nobody. I've seen nothing to change my mind. Can we expect to see a revolution in the way freight's moved because of this piece of legislation? Do we seriously believe people will commit to a rail network widely perceived to be in its death throes? Let railways concentrate on what they do best—moving people. The vast majority of goods—and industry— require the flexibility that only trucks can supply."
