Default seeing the other's view

Believe me, lorry journeys haven't been reduced by Stobarts putting
stuff onto rail.

Er, what? If they hadn't put that stuff on rail, they would have had to
buy more lorries for this RDC thing etc. It's not a reduction, but

it is a smaller increase!

Hardly. Still needs to go on a lorry at either end.


Rail is so much more efficient for long trunk flows like this, also he has
expanded his business without increasing the amount of lorries on the road
