Upon the miasma of midnight, a darkling spirit identified as Tony Polson
gently breathed:

Presumably you would like the little-used rural lines that used to
radiate from Aylesbury to be kept open with large government subsidy,
rather than spending the money on services that people actually want
to use, in very large numbers.

I don't know the area, but given that the govt seems hell-bent on
converting the entire SouthEast into one vast sea of Barrat box houses,
I suspect those same "little used rural lines" will indeed be needed
before much longer, except they'll no longer be rural, and be running at
inner-city-metro type frequencies in a desperate attempt to stave off
the inevitable gridlock.

Just why does gov.uk seem so utterly convinced that the entire
population of England, bar a few west-country hoteliers and the landed
gentry, should live within 50 miles of Central London?
