I think road railer has been tried before in this country but it did not work, but that was a long time ago, 1960's or there abouts. A problem with the British loading guage is the amount of curve at roof hight. You can go up 13 feet between the rails but by the time you get to the maximum width of the loading guage your looking at a vertical height that is more like 10.5 feet or less. This is another reason why it is difficult to fit a traditonally sized truck body into the railway loading guage. But all is not doom and gloom. Some supermarkets use rail as part of thier "supply chain" using swap bodies on well wagons.
