	Industrial relations in the rail sector (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The rail transport sector is undergoing a broad reorganisation process across western Europe, prompted largely by EU legislation.
		Transport is one the most important elements in national infrastructures, in terms of both people's mobility and the economic system as a whole.
		Since the early 1990s, the rail sector's structure has been undergoing remarkable changes, due to a process of liberalisation which is aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of rail transport.

		What's lacking, he says, is the kind of leadership necessary to make the leap from a society that relies upon modes of transportation largely based on technologies first developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
		But he believed small vehicle systems were better than light rail because they're potentially more convenient, and because of that the public would be more likely get on board.
		It was also planned as a transit hub, with rail lines extending out, but funding for that more extensive portion of the project never materialized.

	Transport Watch UK - Community Rail
		Because of their limited carrying capacity as railways, and because of the diminishing demand for bulk transport by land, they are being wasted, very expensively: they carry relatively little traffic at disproportionately high cost.
		In the study that advocated it, instead of going for conversion of rail into busway, Alan M Voorhees, the American consultants, assumed that the 11ft rail track would have to be converted into a 12ft bus lane, with 3ft verges.
		Britain's transport policy is now in very serious trouble, as even those responsible for it ought to admit The amount of new or improved trunk road to be built by the early 1908's will be cut by over a third.

	Sugar Cane Transport
		Efficient transport of chopped cane is essential to avoid losses of sugar content after harvesting and to maintain a uniform flow of cane through the mills.
		The solution to the problem of transporting sugar cane to central mills emerged with the development of light rail technology by the French farmer and engineer, Paul Decauville, and the English firm John Fowler and Company.
		Small petrol-engined rail tractors were employed for light duties from the early 1920s and, after 1925, petrol-powered locomotives by Fowler and Hudswell Clarke appeared on mainline operations.

		One reason is that definitions of what a metro is may vary according to who you ask (a popular definition is here).
		Differences between heavy rail, metros and trams began fading in the past few decades as more metros now include stretches shared with roads or heavy rail.
		In other cases, metros have gradually evolved from tram or rail lines, so it is often difficult to tell the actual length or date of inauguration of a metro.
