Ok. This thread has degenerated into a mud slinging match...A couple of companies in the UK have put their toes into the vertical integration water, National Power did it before selling up to EWS (as a way to force prices down methinks) and British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL)are VI to an extent as well. The extent is that they did not/ Do Not own the track. BNFL does control some of its own siding infrastructure, but they have their own locomotives, wagons and crews. A lot of it is to have control of a very sensitive supply. <br /> <br />However, just two large flies in the OA ointment. Though the shippers have a choice of freight operators the track provider is basically drowning in debt and is looking to differentiate the price of track access which could see some traffic lost to rail whether Red train Co, Blue Train Co or Green Train Co operates it. They are very very price conscious and price elastic so it seems. Secondly the amount of bureaucracy involved is somewhat mind boggling. If you want a certain amount of Intramodal comp then the US will have to move to basically a scheduled railway system I would think.
