'Basil Jet[_4_ Wrote:

longer moving to London, are any major schemes about to be cancelled?

If disaster hits our country and the twerp Johnson becomes Prime
Minister, I imagine neither Heathrow nor Gatwick will be expanded.

The National Audit office has already suggested that HS2 should be
delayed, supposedly to reduce costs.

there are plenty here who think that vanity project will nor be
entirely missed

It's a lot more than a vanity project. There will be severe capacity
limitations on the WCML very soon now if it isn't built.

I suppose that is the problem of coming to a group where not everybody has
engaged in (an earlier) discussion on this subject elsewhere

Whilst it is true that capacity problems might dictate that the best
solution is for a new two track railway between London and Trent Valley
junctions, plus (as separate requirements) rebuilding Euston and the long
promised Stafford cut off

the rest is a totally unnecessary vanity project
