Rail fares to rise by RPI + 1%, Good value? Options

[Biker1]

With roads, you can go where you want, when you want. Unless you get randomly pulled over for a spot check by the police. In which case you are slightly delayed but no worry, if you want to pull over and admire the scenery, you can. Spot of tea? No bother

Not to mention accidents, breakdowns, roadworks, prat drivers, jams, speed limits - I could go on.
The point I am trying to make is that both have advantages and drawbacks.
As for freight you may find a few answers here.
As usual I am not extolling either, just trying to maintain a balanced view.

Hmm interesting link. It's good you can remain balanced, I'm all for the road and think the freedom over public transport you get is amazing but hey.

I've noticed that container ships have a similar problem. How do you think they manage?

They then use either rail which later utilises road or road from the start!
