Twin Peaks for UK Waterways Freight

The British Governments determination to take abnormal loads and other freight off the nations congested highways was underscored last month by the maiden voyage of the Inland Navigator . The vessel was purchased and converted at a cost of £ 500,000, 99% of which was met by a Department of Transport Freight Facilities Grant.

The village of Staythorpe had never seen the likes of Inland Navigator and its cargo before.
