Currentl...Indeed what they aren't telling you!<br /><br />Currently there have been no plans for ANY increase in freight. <br /><br />This was confirmed no less than by Maggie Simpson, the project manager, at the Rail Freight Group who said<br /><br />"We have yet to have details of what the extra capacity would be made available for freight, but we are a bit underwhelmed that the task is to be undertaken by Network Rail and Passenger Focus"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-25476644084713638482011-03-11T18:42:38.721+00:002011-03-11T18:42:38.721+00:00It is important to state that Atkins presumes that...It is important to state that Atkins presumes that not only will all 100mph Desiros have to be replaced in order to deliver 16 tph but the entire fleet of Pendolinos is presumed to be replaced in 2022. Under HS2 3 freight paths an hour could be cleared that's 3000 lorry loads a day! Add that to your carbon calculation. Under RP2 freight is all but forgotten about. <br /><br />Funny how critics choose to ignore freight as an issue. Rail container freight is being suppressed now never mind in 10 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
