Road Freight Association says rail revamp could slash logistics costs and create thousands of jobs

# The Road Freight Association says the success of government’s rail reform will depend on stable regulations, improved infrastructure, and strong collaboration between road and rail operators. This follows Transport minister Barbara Creecy’s announcement that eleven private train companies have been allocated operating slots to boost freight volumes from 160- to 250-million tons annually. The association’s CEO, Gavin Kelly, says the rail revamp could slash logistics costs and create thousands of jobs.
