It’s just been announced that a new multi million pound port is to be built in Leeds(Stourton)to connect with the Humber with the aim of taking lots of LGVs off the roads.An expert says that one barge can carry 17 truck loads off stuff.Success is guaranteed,surely!Good for “just in time deliveries”.
Those fresh eggs will arrive just before they hatch.
As you probably have noticed on your side of ‘le tunnel’, barge traffic on the rivers and canals is very successful for large bulk transport, not so much for fresh eggs 
. Unfortunately, the rivers in this country, with very few and specific exceptions, are not suitable for craft large enough to make this viable. As for the (200 year old)canals, they can only take vessels carrying a max of 20 tons, and only here and there where the (lack of)maintenance hasn’t reduced them to stilted up drainage ditches, or linear mooring sites.
Even the tanker transport on the Humber has seized.
This is another pipe dream by CRT, as it was a pipe dream by British Waterways.
