We can speculate on causes, the bottom line is the trucking industry is
having "competition" problems - some of which will be with rail.

Road has problems, as well rail might - isn't this part of the shaking out
of the transport industry.

Roads first activity is Govt lobbying - what will they get? - what is rail
doing to counter it?
