"The different national rail networks [were not co-operating]..so people kept on sending their produce by lorry. Eddie Stobart has cut through the bureaucracy"
Definitely forward thinking both commercially and environmentally.
Just got to get more freight back onto our own UK railway again now!
It's a pity we have a liking for for out of season fruit and veg. The carbon footprint would be cut dramatically if we, as a population, stuck to our home grown produce and eat what is in season at the time.
A few years ago when i was in Spain the fruit over there tasted a lot better than the stuff in the local supermarkets, maybe that is why I don't eat much fruit because it is tasteless.
