Default Converting Railways To Roads

I doubt roads pay their way either even after road and fuel tax have been
taken into account. The M25 widening alone is costing over £100 million a year.

Fuel Duty alone is 28 billion, and that doesn't include the 5.6bn VAT on
duty. VED is another (roughly) £6bn.
