Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

when the railways decided to stop carrying pigeons in baskets on trains.

South Yorkshire pigeon fanciers went ahead and bought two specially equipped trailers capable of carrying 5,000 birds each and these will be hauled by BRS during the 20-week flying season.

The trailers leave Doncaster on a Thursday evening bound for destinations in France and travel via Cherbourg returning home empty.

Each trailer has accommoda: tion for the pigeons' escort and they were bought by the South Yorkshire Amalgamation of Homing Pigeon Federations as a counter to the British Rail decision.

Amalgamation secretary Mr Peter Farrell works for BRS in Doncaster and it was to BRS that the contract for the hauling of the two trailers went.
