Railborne freight receives no subsidy, unlike lorries.

Where exactly do I apply for my lorry subsidy?
It's provided automatically, without application.

In your mind perhaps, dream on, don't let reality get in the way.


You've obviously forgotton about the rate of VED on lorries when the present
government came into power and what it is now?


No I havn't, I just realise thet the total amount collected by ved and
fuel tax is more than three times the amount spent on the roads. If my
truck is being subsidised where are the funds coming from, because it
isn't central government?
