Railheads for small consignments will be equipped with power operated conveyor belts, stillages.
Some of those shipments are in large trucks trundling to nuclear power stations from the railhead.
Arrangements for temporary financial aid in billeting areas had been made, and two days' emergency rations were provided at the railheads for every refugee.
The produce has to be collected, brought to the railhead, taken hundreds of miles down to the coast and then shipped across the sea.
I realise that short-distance hauls from the railhead to factories will have to be by road.
We find that road services are being used for collection and delivery to the railhead.
We suggested that heavy lorries could be taken from certain sites to the railheads, and that subsidies could be made available to relieve motorway congestion.
The disadvantage of that tunnel was that it would be a considerable distance from any railhead.
