In Briti***rain planning some peoples view of goods trains range from bad tempered tolleration to outright loathing. Leith - Cockenzie trains are on the ECML for about 5 miles, that can be lived with, but when you are trying to path a coal train out of Hunterston going to Drax, through Paisley, across the West Coast Main Line at Polmadie, round the Edinburgh sub and down the East Coast Main Line to be handed over North Eastern zone at Berwick to be told it has been rejected because it clashes with a train near York, you start to think do we realy need this traffic and would it not be better to land it at Hull. <br /> <br />After that rant the most productive frieght trains in terms of ease of planning and utilisation of resources tend to be MGR, Freightliners and nominated freights (like mgr but not just minerals). Anything else and you are getting back to the possition of Britain being the worlds biggest marshalling yard like it was in the 1950's.
