Planning and rail freight
Article Abstract:
The growth of the railways originally led to industrial and residential development. Road freight only became more popular in the 1950's, and there is now concern that freight should return to the railways to ease road congestion. Rail freight supporters hope that the Channel Tunnel will increase rail transport again as goods could be carried further. If rail freight is to be viable it will need to be connected to towns and road transport facilities.
