The company actually went bankrupt and out of business in the mid 90's, it never transferred to road transport. Unfortunatly the directors made the decision to tie the company's future to the Channell Tunnel with disastrous consequences. Even today 20 years after opening the amount of freight going through the Tunnel by freight train is derisory. Brian Deasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
