Well for £95m actually which makes it an incredibley expensive bridge and
mile of track.

Kevin


What WAS that price for a mile of motorway?


Roads are a hell of a lot cheaper in England and elsewhere. For the very
high cost of rail, it only carries about 5% of the people in England.
Brits are really ****ed with all rail building draining money from roads
along with causing high congestions and the crumbling of the roads. Go tell
them your opinions at uk.transport and see how they attack you with your
highly destructive opinions.

From your use of "****ed" to (presumably) mean "annoyed" rather than
"drunk", I'd guess you are in the rebel-controlled colonies?

So you might not know that Transport Watch is a one bloke, not an
organisation, and pretty much no-one takes him seriously (well, maybe
uk.transport do!).

As for "all rail building", there is a distinct lack of rail building in
England, though some in Scotland.
