23 April 1998 POTATOES URGED TO TAKE THE TRAIN RAILWAY privatisation and the development of a national freight grid should help green the image of the food and farming industry, a British


Potato Council export seminar was told. Massive investment by the American-owned English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) group could mean a guaranteed maximum delivery time of 36 hours


door-to-door from the north of Scotland to the south of England, and a three-day delivery time to European destinations. One of the first guinea pigs to use the system, Alistair Roy,


managing director of Gordon & Innes, Elgin, Moray, sent large quantities of seed potatoes from northern Scotland to England. He had nothing but praise for the network. * _The Scotsman
