- W635764614 abstract "The alternative approach is put forward for the project which is in danger of running up such a massive capital debt that revenues will never outpace increasing interest charges. Operating costs are badly underestimated and intense price competition from air and sea competitors are threatened. The author suggests that design of a wide tunnel carrying specialised, outsize rolling stock in a shuttle mode between dedicated terminals at either end is wrong. The tunnel should be used only for normal British Rail, SNCF and continental-gauge (UICC) standard rolling stock carying fast passenger and Freightliner trains, plus cars on existing motorail wagons. Road backs and trailers could be carried on Kombi rail wagons similar to those used from Ostend to Thessolonika and from Helsinki to Madrid. It is suggested that the building of very costly coastal terminals and specialised rolling stock should be abandoned. Separate private enterprise companies should be invited to plan, build and operate a number of inland terminals in competition with each other. All such terminals would simply feed traffic into a dedicated UICC-gauge, high-speed rail link from London. Heavy road traffic, environmental damage and capital costs would be greatly reduced by adopting the measures outlined. (TRRL)" @default.
