Customers prefer their greight to travel via Rail as compared to Trucks

["Brian Evans (IOM)" <bevans@omni.com.au>]

Snipped from the national rail web site under news news.

". A new opinion survey, conducted for the ARA (the Australasian Railway
Association Inc), shows strong support for rail. Urban and rural people
across Australia overwhelmingly prefer freight to be moved on trains rather
than trucks (more than 80%), and support more investment in rail
infrastructure (around 90%). The poll, which debunks the myth that there are
no votes in rail, was undertaken in October by Australia's most reliable
pollster, Newspoll. It was a repeat of a 1998 survey of community attitudes
to key issues in freight transport, with 1999 results even more emphatically
supportive of rail than for the 1998 survey. Take a closer a look if you can
at the ARA's excellent WebSite at http://www.ara.net.au."
