Agree with you there Dynamo. There must be a big opportunity for Intermodal into the West of England but Freightliner have never taken it up - if they just steal the profits and loads from the more enterprising companies railfreight will never expand its current footprint Very much enjoyed the Thornaby trip video post BTW. Can you do another?
