<p>[quote user="Tulyar15"]But in the free market, the customer is meant to be king!<br /><br />One interesting development in Poland. The British Train company Freightliner has been granted a licence to operate coal trains. It plans to take the coal to the port of Gdansk, then ship it by sea to England, then from Immingham to a number of English power stations by rail. I guess it's too much to hope they could rail haul it all the way from Poland to England![/quote]</p><p>Could it be that passenger congestion over Continental lines has made this bi-modal solution of using rail-ship-rail the best alternative? Or is it some other form of physical or political constraints engendered in the European rail network that has forced this move?</p><p>It would seem the all rail move would make the most sense.</p>
