	Railroad
		Though the rail system was extremely slow at first and prohibitively expensive to build and run, the British were not to be dissuaded in their pursuit of non-animal driven transportation.
		The most advanced mode of transportation prior to the introduction of the rail system was the horse drawn omnibus on a track, called a tram.
		Some rails were still made of wood, others iron and the first trains traveled at the pace of 3.5 miles per hour, significantly slower than the horse drawn coach which traveled at a speed of 9-10 miles per hour.

	Rail Privatisation: The great train robbery
		Indeed, the net result of the rail market madness has caused the basic costs of train operators to rise substantially--so much, in fact, that the government grant required to keep the railways going rose from £1,061 million in 1993-94 to £2,090 million in 1994-95, an increase of £1,029 million.

	MARITIME TRANSPORT
		Efficiency in domestic transport can be secured if all modes are able to compete on a level playing field, and where the real comparative cost advantages of all modes are fully reflected in the set of prices and tariffs faced by their users.
		Maritime transport policy should attempt to foster and maintain a competitive climate wherever appropriate and the Government should generally avoid protectionist maritime practices and maintain an "open ports" policy.
		All transport policy should ensure that domestic transport modes receive equal and equitable treatment, and that their prices reflect social opportunity costs in all modes.
