BY ROAD AND RAIL 



WITH the ever increasing invasion of the 

 road by the fast motor-coach the railways 

 get more and more alarmed for their traffic, 

 and are therefore ready to consider anything 

 which will help them in their desperate 

 fight against the new-comer. 



It has long been seen that a dual purpose 

 vehicle would help the railways against the 

 road, and within recent months the L.M.S. 

 Railway has experimented with a new type 

 of omnibus which will serve equally well 

 on road or rail. This is the Karrier Ro- 

 railer. 



In previous attempts whatever was likely 

 to be gained by a convertible vehicle was 

 lost by the time taken up or method of 

 transition from a rail to a road unit.
