***LibDems launch transport plan***
Main proposals include:
* Cutting fuel duty and abolishing VED over the next 10 years and introducing a cost-neutral road user pricing scheme on motorways and trunk roads
* Building a high speed rail network paid for by introducing emissions-linked charges on road freight and internal flights
* Introducing rolling contracts for train operating companies to increase long-term investment and improve services
* Give power to control local bus services back to local authorities
* Introducing a new fund for rural transport
* Giving passengers a stronger voice to improve local transport services through a new passenger watchdog
