P'raps our dear old Darwin can explain to this 'townie', but I find it quite staggering that they are taking the dead infected carcass' all the way from Surrey BY ROAD in as good as open trucks, to bloody Somerset to be incinerated!! 
I thought this highly viralant virus was easily transmitted via the wind ffs?
I would therefore imagine that the wind will be swirling around these carcass',and blowing all over the countryside en route?
Why don't they simply burn and bury them on site?
Snoopy has the broad answer I'm afraid. Disposal, even by burning, has to be done on approved sites only.
They do however, spray gallons of the disinfectant over them before the lorry leaves, and they put dust-proof covers strapped down over the lot. (you could see a bloke pulling one tight in the background of one of the BBC clips)
It did occur to me that the media could have explained that, as it looked like they just chucked them in the back of an open wagon and drove off in a cloud of virus laden dust.
Wait until they find some half-wit DEFRA lab-technician put a load of virus-soaked test samples out in the wheelie bin at the research place next door.
