Diesel engines still dominate our trains, both passenger and freight.

I used to drive an electric milk float back in the day. As they increased the size of the rounds in order to reduce the number of milkmen they had to employ, the milk floats started running out of juice before the end of the round and had to be towed back to the depot by a petrol guzzling truck. Eventually they did away with the electric milk float and gave me the petrol guzzling truck.

I am eagerly waiting for my E 4x4 pick up truck that will tow 3T for 250 miles, 450 miles solo, take me off road and be topped up in rural Devon. Not sure I will ever see that 🙁. It will happen, but not in my lifetime, so Diesel is still king. 😀👍

Mike if they can build a truck that can tow full capacity for 500 miles, getting a pick up to tow 3 tonnes 250 miles should be a drop in the ocean, just boils down to cost, Tesla are actually releasing a pick up in the next few years as well.
