Bouncing back for more cheap motor insurance.
Insureyourmotor.co.uk appreciates the appeal of rubber. After all, Insureyourmotor.co.uk's cheap motor insurance wholly depends on it, making a regular appearance on the cheap insured motor vehicles that Insureyourmotor.co.uk set about insuring - cheaply. Without tyres, there would, sadly, be no Insureyourmotor.co.uk. Perhaps Insureyourboat.co.uk? And maybe even Insureyourtrain.co.uk? But cheap motor insurances loss would be felt countrywide by those cheaply insured motorists so reliant on Insureyourmotor.co.uk's cheap motor insurance keeping them on the straight and narrow. Its railways that cheap motor insurer Insureyourmotor.co.uk turn to with this cheap motor insuring story as it happens, as one of Insureyourmotor.co.uk's cheap motor insuring wordsmiths finds out how the two are on cheap motor/locomotive insuring track to provide for Insureyourmotor.co.uk's cheap motor insurers..
Rubber, in its various shapes and sizes has been protecting us for years. Protecting our expensive alloys from being ground down to, well, nothing; protecting our hobbit-like feet from slurry, and most important of all - protecting you from her three doors down whose husband works away a lot. Anyway, I've just been flicking through the pages of my favourite subscribed publication - European Rubber Journal (Which comes through my letterbox six times a year) - and happened across an informative piece (with equally as provocative imagery to match) about another amazing way the properties of rubber can protect the innocent from their surrounds. That's if they persist with playing on the railway tracks, at their age.
If we can impatiently wait till June, then we will be duly rewarded by bearing witness to a revolutionary new recycled rubber rail track bed - in action. Or rather, as much action that a strip of rubber can muster for a salivating audience. Make your excitable way to Corby on June the 1 st, and you'll be able to hob-nob with leading rubber industry and governmental department bods, gathered to behold HRH. Nope, no need to get the bunting out, as Queenie's not passing through on a steam locomotive; instead the HoldFast Rubber Highway will be unveiled (and ably demonstrated) by those who make it their business to fiddle with polymer derivatives.
With the potential to wave a right monarchical goodbye to oppressive road congestion, this particular corporate brand of HRH will make journeying on light rail routes feasible, aswell as affordable, and moreover, re-open previously moth-balled or unemployed railway lines throughout the country. And in the one fell sweep eradicating the heightening concern currently being experienced by my buddies over at European Rubber Journal over the desperate problem of just what to do with Britain 's escalating stock piles of waste tyres. Already a problem now halved as my mother used to say.
As constructed from high-grade recycled rubber, the solution arrives in the timely form of an easy to install track or road bed, that simply matesT with its recently acquainted future transportational partner. Peter Coates Smith is the person we have to thank for this worthy innovation, as he was the man responsible for the invention and development of these three names. And the HoldFast Rubber Highway . You may remember him from such famous transport industry episodes such as 'HoldFast Level Crossings Ltd?' - then again, you may not. Anyhow, his system has been designed to afford the hard of hat to lay polymer-pickled, by-producted road-surfaces quickly, on both hundreds of miles of existing rail track beds, or new ones, with equal efficiency. What makes his vision so appealing is this. When compared to the costing's involved in new road builds today - in excess of £20million per mile - the HRH latex-layer comes in at an estimated arrival price of less than £1.4million, to cover the equivalent length.
Peter Smiths Coat was moved to utter this random bit of selling jargon;" With so many light rail projects under threat, community lines struggling and axed lines lying disused, there is real need for new and affordable options to realise much needed infrastructure opportunities."
Transport for London has already expressed an interest in the concept, and is carrying out skid tests on the imaginative alternate road surface.
The initial, proposed trials of this rubbery-scheme came in the aftermath of, and as response to, an open call for initiatives and demonstrations facilitating the UK 's post-consumer tyres in a range of applications; and is largely funded by the Waste and Resources Action Programme. (WRAP)
Inclusive of a full presentation, a visit to the test track and a live demonstration utilising resin-based bendy products, the preview day will offer the first opportunity for the watching world to see what all the fuss is about. And then have some sticky buns. Summer is most definitely on the way.
Insureyourmotor.co.uk are no strangers to a commotion. Albeit of the cheap motor insuring variety. As Insureyourmotor.co.uk are usually the instigators of such cheap motor insuring malarkey in the first place, and are continually causing a cheap motor insurance buzz whenever their name is mentioned.
