Labour
want a better use of Britain's current road structure rather than
promise a massive road building scheme. Labour would consider the
building of more toll roads and the introduction of 'high occupancy'
lanes on motorways etc. The rail industry would be put under more
ministerial control.
Conservatives
The
Conservatives would encourage more private investment in transport. Good
train operators would receive longer contracts. Tax cuts for cars with
low carbon emissions would be introduced.
Liberal
Democrats
There
would be encouragement for the use of low polluting cars. There would be
a shift from money being spent on road building to money being spent on
the rail network. Air passenger duty would be scrapped.
