The distribution manager of Standard Telephones and Cables, S. G. Christie, tells me he saw a significant and unusual load on MI, near junction 13, on August 16. It was a Bedford KFA tractive unit and platform semi-trailer of British Rail carrying four complete sets of axles and new flanged rail wheels. Apart from it being about the oddest combination of vehicle and load he's ever seen on MI, he suggests that there's a moral somewhere when BR finds if necessary to transfer vital parts of its rolling stock, not by rail but by "the much surer method of road haulage".
Amen to that.
