Knights that go ni

Good news from the Stobart Group!

This from today's Financial Mail...

Transport and logistics group Eddie Stobart - famous for its fleet of green lorries - is holding talks with Network Rail over plans to build freight terminals on its dormant land.

Its first target is the Midlands Main Line. The move is part of Stobart's plan to shift ten per cent of its freight to rail by next year.

But what's this?

The story is illustrated with a picture of the 'Stobart Pullman' which lasted all of five months before being unceremoniously dumped by the company.

Let's hope the railfreight plans of the Knights of the Road don't also end up in a shrubbery.
