My mum used to be sub-contracted to Freightliner, she is a lorry driver. One day her colleague picked up a container from Felixstowe dropped it off at Manchester then picked up another container to un-load at Stoke, then took the same box down to Felixstowe and ended picking up the box he took to Manchester again. So that box went lorry to Manchester, train to Felixstowe then back on the lorry to Manchester??? Strange company!!!

Perhaps the load of one lorry isn't worth the cost a path on the railways plus the cost of fuel/power?
