A critical aspect of road/rail freight competition is the ease with which trucks can go anywhere - and this is a particular issue in the transport of international containers. Over the past 40 years, the key trend has been for containers to become progressively higher - initially to 8'6' and now 9'6'. While this causes no problem across our modern road system, where bridges and tunnels have been built with generous 'loading gauge', the situation is very different on the rail network.
