§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the Official Report the 19 trunking depots operated by the Roadline subsidiary of the National Freight Corporation for its new delivery system, stating how many could be served by rail as part of his policy to transfer trunk road traffic from road to rail.
§ Dr. GilbertRoadline (UK) Limited operates 76 depots, all of which could, in theory, be served by rail. It has no delivery system relating to 19 particular depots, although a new delivery service, Relay Express, operates through 13 reception depots. They are at Glasgow, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, Newport (Mons.), London (2), Chatham, Cambridge, Bristol and Basingstoke. The 175W trunking method used to reach these depots is decided by individual consignors.
