UK Strike: countdown to shutdown

As claiming sustainable, for railways, remains proving sustainable – in all respects!
For sustainably meeting with demands – and for reducing of risks – simply as at other modes, by air and by sea, etc. capacity and utilisation of assets, has to be raised.
The “Green Card” is not sufficient. For proving a timely device, now infrastructure needs upgrading. A New Old Railway is needed! Clients, ware owners, handsomely reward devices, that safely provides for “On Time” supplies. Quality pays!
