Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

In.A REPORT on road and rail traffic bottlenecks in the Tees-side area has been submitted to the Tees-side and South-West Durham Chamber of Commerce. The organization's transport and shipping committees stated that causes of the bottlenecks were the availability and use of labour, inadequate equipment, lack of co-operation in calling forward traffic, non-availability of transport sheds, and the fact that certain shippers operated a five-day week, and refused to transport goods on Saturdays.

The report called for closer co-operation between shipping operators and suppliers. The report said that the export express service was working satisfactorily, and it sometimes took less time to send goods across country than it did to move a consignment a few miles locally.
