IN PLACE OF CONGESTION

The likely developments in freight transport technology in Britain during the coming 10-15 years are investigated by the author. Emphasis is placed on the need for careful planning to prevent further congestion. It is suggested that the distribution of freight in urban areas would be facilitated by the setting up of consolidation centers at strategic peripheral locations within urban areas, with the use of rapid transit routes in off peak hours. The author further subscribes to the widely held view that technology readily available at the present time could be more freely applied to the railways.
