Government reply to StopRailFreight petition

The government’s reaction to the petition is sadly indicating that this government wants to push through the rail freight interchanges, even if they are proposed in the wrong places. Joined up government is what we need. If they are going to widen the M25 around that part anyway, what is the harm in adding a motorway junction to service this major rail/road interchange. I don’t object to the Rail Freight terminal per-se, but do think it is madness without direct access to/from the motorway network,, which it is proposed to be build beside.
