Dec 2009 at 11:49 saw this on the news, it was stopped on its first run BUT, its just as easy to turn as our standard trucks, it has the same turning circle, and weight limit (45 ton) The idea is 3 standard trucks can be replaced by 2 of those, its also safer due to shorter stopping distance

There many Goods Trains that go past were i live & i counted 25 trucks on the back of a coal train the other day Each one means one less truck on the road & to me as a driver that's a good thing.
