How should Britain rebuild logistics between 1946 and 1960?
Short answerInvest in rail freight, coastal ports and air cargo alongside roads, with direct rail links to major sites and an industrial freight backbone.
NotesThe proposed 1946-1960 programme keeps investment flowing into railway freight, coastal ports and air freight alongside roads. Power stations and ports would receive easy rail access. Container ports would connect directly to trains to keep heavy-goods transport costs down. A separate industrial rail backbone is suggested to reduce conflict between freight and passenger traffic.
