Is the hon. Gentleman aware that not everybody agrees with the increasing investment in roads at the expense of the railways? The railway line in this area carries a great deal of freight, and will increasingly carry much more of the heavy freight as a consequence of North Sea oil development. The Government's public investment programme would be much more worth while if it were redirected towards rail rather than towards roads.
