[Max Webster]

I think I read that the reason for this was that the tanks are life-expired, so it would seem nobody was willing to invest in replacements (I also read recently that new tanks have just been introduced on the Preston Docks bitumen flow - possibly this has larger amounts to justify the investment?). It is a worry that in an environment where there is constant talk of 'green solutions', here we have a freight flow with rail connections at each end and an existing rail customer and yet it was still not possible to retain the business.
