Maybe staff can address this. We had discussions come up about trying to avoid a shipper having to basically send his goods in the wrong direction in order to get to an exchange point. My understanding is that if in fact the 30-kilometre interswitching distance applies. Thirty kilometres is not a big deal, but if no such exchange point exists within the 30 kilometres, then in fact the shipper would be free to choose the exchange point that is in the direction he wants his material to go.
