My reaction too! Really straightforward policy design as well (from what I can tell) - cost shapes decisions. Rail freight has not been my policy area and this reassures me there’s some good work going on out there!

yeah, I was vaguely aware railfreight was increasing, but similarly, really interesting how such a simple tool could have such a big impact. Also makes the economic case for HS2 (to increase capacity on the WCML) make more sense.
Oh definitely, they've also done the necessary grade separation work at Reading too. They just need to complete the electrification of what's known as The Spine and particularly the section from Southampton to Reading. The slight irony being this is currently all diesel hauled
