Needless to say the Transport Action Network don't seem to understand the difference between capital and revenue expenditure.

I've just been glancing at some more of their stuff.
On rail freight, changes to access charges to HS1 and Channel Tunnel
pricing will make through rail freight more economic and help attract
more business, reducing the number of HGVs on the road network.
These measures combined with a targeted £520m investment in
reconstruction of Ely Junction and Soham-Ely double-tracking,
and a number of other relatively small infrastructure interventions
(cumulatively £110-£120m) would be transformative for rail freight,
leading to a significant shift from road to rail. It is estimated this could
remove as many as 550,000 – 1,100,000 HGVs per year from the road
network, providing further relief to the Dartford Crossings.
So some admin changes and a one off £640m to take at least half a million HGVs a year off the road?

Jimmy Hill. Still, I'm sure we really need to hear from them on transport stories.
