the government has approved funding for cambridgeshire-based mole solutions to develop the idea as an alternative to the conventional systems of transporting goods by road .
the plan , called the mole urban project , aims to reduce the level of road freight within urban areas by using freight pipelines carrying goods in capsules to edge of town consolidation centres , where they would be collected .
the development project is set to last nine months and if successful could be rolled out in other towns , although it is still a long way from fruition that
