I would have thought that up'til Beeching/Marples, that virtually all road haulage was under railway control. Even BRS was under the railways umbrella. It was only after the Beeching era, that railways went into decline and the private haulier came into being. After this time
bigger lorries displaced the Scammel. Prior to then, the average rail worker, and the railway operated lorry drivers must have felt he had a job for life. Now we have congestion, and a rail network which is a shadow of what it once was. Progress?
