	Rail transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rail transport is the transport of passengers and goods along railways or railroads.
		Rail transport is an energy-efficient and capital-intensive means of mechanised land transport.
		Securing railways is often more difficult than for other modes of transport because stations are designed with easy access and high capacity rather than security as their primary goals; most trains make many stops, rendering any sort of passenger screening difficult; and securing the tracks as they run through cities and the countryside is impractical.

	Department for Transport - Leigh Busway Inspector's Report
		The Greater Manchester Integration Project, which was being developed by a partnership which involved a wide range of bodies and transport operators, had as its centrepiece a multi-modal county-wide Quality Partnership Agreement which was aimed at achieving this.
		However, it was not the sole improvement to public transport either in the corridor or in the Leigh area as a whole, and it should therefore not be criticised for not being a total solution to the problems, or for not accessing other destinations that were of interest to local people.
		GMPTE had entered into dialogue with the existing bus operators in the area affected by the QBC proposals, offering to participate in impact studies, and was now working on one with the main commercial operator.
