Wherever you travel on Scotland's road network, you see lorries. One of the great strengths of road haulage is that it can take advantage of more than 50 years of continuous improvement in the capacity and quality of the country's trunk roads. Moving goods by road has become simpler, faster and cheaper - and, despite Scotland's climate change targets, the Scottish Government has plans for a further £9 billion in road investment, which will make it ever harder for the more sustainable mode of transport, the freight train, to compete with the truck.
