Once the packages arrive at Liverpool Street, they will be distributed to
their final destinations around the city by electric van or cargo bikes.

Whatever happened to the very similar sounding scheme a couple of years
ago to deliver packages to Euston in the small hours, and have them
distributed by electric vans?

That was a one-off concept demonstration, back in June 2014. It was
organised by a consultancy (Intermodality) with Colas Rail and TNT. The
demo proved that the idea was workable, but my guess is that the economics
weren't favourable at the time. Things have obviously changed six years
later.


Whatever happened with the pilot programme to move freight about
Amsterdam via tram?

There was also CarGo in Leipzig, which served the VW plant in the area.
I wonder if anybody is thinking of restarting that service or even
expanding it to serve other parts of town.
