We couldn't even deliver goods by train as AFAIK all our freight trains are diesel, with only the metro passenger services being electric.

Your wasting your breath. This thread is just amazing, it truly highlights what a cult like obsession this ev/green crap is. Mainstream media is every bit as nuts.... actually I think there was one that was as nuts ... but in the common sense direction (but far to extreme.... was it sky news?). Either way, there is no common sense anywhere to be found in any of the media. You MUST join there cult/religion though, otherwise you are simply a crazy to be ignored and treated like an imbecile. Absolutely fascinating to witness.

Absolutely.

And that's why the more EV's that are in use.. the more diesel that is left for essential services like all the above.

That some people are unable to see this .. I've got no explanation.

Yes if fuel stops it's a very very bad place.
