... is currently about £1/mile I reckon, so £120. Let's say saving £100 against paying four people for a week. If that's half the cost-saving (the rest being the capital cost of the lorry/boat) you need to find people who will work all day and sleep on a boat, for £50 a week.

... the usual diatribe against the idea.) Only if you consider the phrase "basic economics and mechanical limitation" to be a diatribe. Yes, we could have railway lines running up every road, transhipment stations to put the goods on a rack railway every time the gradient exceeded 1 in 30, and a distribution network which would all but prevent any other traffic using the roads and ...
