None of this will happen by 2030 complete bull. This is Britain that can't even build a railway line, last time I looked railways were invented hundreds of years ago but we can't manage it. Design and build nuclear reactors in less than a decade, get real, planning consent will take longer than that. 2040 will be the soonest we can manage it and that's the date given originally after consultation. Just Boris trying to be clever, I will be happy if we get into next year without a disaster with the EU.

Yes Bryan, there has been a couple of freights recently with that braking system on Merc units that came to Orkney to the company I drive for. I think the CPC qualification could do a lot better to cover the basics of these new electronic systems instead of some of the p....s that we had to endure. I repeated the exact same module that I had done the previous day just to get hours in last year. The only day I thought was beneficial was the first aid refresher course.

Right... I drive a service van, aprox 1.5 tons of stuff inside...
How should this work in your theory?
I "call" a rental via app, spend over one hour loading all my $h!t into it, get to the site, unload all onto the sidewalk...  :-\
