Tram funding largesse for Nottingham
Not London so apologies for Off Topic but uk.transport seems to be full
of moaning motorists!
To my great shock and surprise it seems that Nottingham has been given
£400+m to go and build two new lines as part of the NET system.
I imagine people in Manchester, South Hampshire and Leeds are a tad
****ed off. I'm pleased for Nottingham that they've got through the
funding and approval maze with relative ease and speed but it really
sends out some very odd messages as to what on earth the national policy
is on Light Rail.
I have to ponder what on earth is going on in the hallowed corridors of
the DfT these days!
