We can do zero carbon freight movement in canals into urban centres. This is what they were designed for, and it can decarbonise freight journeys. Is there any strategy? I know it is slower, that it is an infrastructure of the past and all the rest of it, but have there been any case studies done or any research carried out to see if it might be viable? They are moving stuff in Britain on canals still.
