Super Low 45 wagons, for transporting hi-cube containers over W8 routes were launched last year by W.H. Davies amid quite a fuss. Does anybody know if freight operators are using them? In theory they should be capable of taking substantial amounts of freight off the roads. Is there any reason why this shouldn't happen?

All depends on how competitive the FOC's are which generally comes down to distance travelled.
