ROAD AND RAIL: NOT EITHER, BUT BOTH

In putting forward his views on the question of roads versus railways the author says that the debate should be ended and the best made of what exists at present. It is suggested that the main trouble is a lack of co-ordination between the two and that a more positive approach to integrated transport policy as seen in other countries is needed. Improvements to the existing system rather than new schemes would have a less drastic effect on the community. The problem is not financial but managerial and is particularly notable in rural areas. /TRRL/
