blackninja do you use high street shops or supermarket for shopping clothes etc. because if you take lorries off the road then were all buggered .railways and canels dont go near a lot of towns. along with everything else t hats hauled like petrol (or des) how would it get to its final destination. lorries themselves are not the problem its the fact they are limited

I didn't say take all lorries off of the road, but while it is true that there are a lot of towns off the railway or canal lines there are also a lot of towns with rail and canal lines running smack bang through the middle, not being used. This could be a really good method for reducing congestion and pollution and for getting money back into the railways to pay for better services for the normal person who just wants to get to work, on time, for once.
And with regard to High Street shops, is a full bore 18 wheeler really needed for everything? In a lot of cases, a LWB Transit with a localised route could do the job quicker and easier and more economically.
