"The railways will suffer, and in the long term the environment, infrastructure and safety as well," one person tweets , while another is worried about the "crazy mega-trucks" being blown about in high winds. "A very clear NO. Instead of mega-trucks, rail transport should be expanded and made easier to use," declares a reader of Sueddeutsche Zeitung . But one Twitter user thinks the lorries are an "ingenious invention", adding : "Romantics curse and fear the new. Engineers are full of pride".
