The cost of using the Channel Tunnel has put off a lot of potential business too, IMO. There is also the problem of having to travel through France, which isn't exactly part of the brave new world of open access operators leasing Class 66s and trying to grow the railfreight market. Recently there was some fairly serious(?) talk of starting a Belgium - UK train ferry, so that rail operators wouldn't have to deal with SNCF and the French unions. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
