In a continuous supply line speed is not vital. After all most goods from China comes in containers by sea!

The canals are still well used for frieght on the continent, but they are wider and deeper. Our canals are too narrow and shallow, yet again being first on the scene has worked against us! Just like the British loading guage on the railways.

Best wishes,
