A good half of freight trucks could be driven onto flat bed trains for the bulk of there journeys like they do to get them through the channel tunnel.
It would save rubber pollution from the tires and lots of diesel fuel and with the track side spaces filled with solar panels and wind turbines could be fully renewable in summer or on windy days.
It would get a hell of a lot of truck miles electrified at no cost to the freight companies and would transfer wear from roads to rail this being cost neutral.
The truck drivers get there mandatory rest periods on the train so it is a winner for them too.
There was a grow house growing "bibgoweed" in the newspapers the other day.
