In the '60 and '70s some extremists, including
The Economist magazine, suggested that railways were
obsolete and that all the railway lines should be so converted.
This idea was repudiated by most sensible people and some
motoring organisations pointed out that railway routes were
not wide enough to be suitable for main roads.

The 'new' A33 in Reading where it passes under the A4. The original
bridge was wide enough for a dual carriageway with two lanes each way
and footways.
