hang on....
While they say that a train can carry 37 HGVs (good!)
Trucks = 7 miles per gallon, trains = 0.7 miles per gallon.
1 truck = 30 tonnes
10 trucks = 300 tonnes
37 trucks =
1110 tonnes at 0.7 miles per gallon (train)
vs
1110 tonnes at 7 miles per gallon (truck)
Importantly, no cyclists are killed by left turning trains.
