So you think spending 100B+ on a railway to shave off 30 mins for pax

and as yet unknown time (possibly zero) for freight trains is a good use of

taxpayers money do you?

It's not about saving time on freight trains but allowing them to run at
all.

And having more tracks won't make any difference to that?

Not 300 yards of extra track in the countryside leading to more flat
jucnction casuing even more congestion and delay

Are you really going with a lame straw man approach?

Still in denial Neil?

Still coming up with non arguments Greem?



So still in denial, 100,000 deaths is just down to hysteria is it?

80K people died of hong kong flu in 68. Where were the face nappies and
lockdown then? 600K people die every year in the UK, get over it. You're
just scared.

NB I stopped worrying about idiots misspelling my name in kindergarten.

But thats how Graham is pronounced in Haggis country - Greem.

So the usual half-arsed British answer which achieves none of the

properly in the first place.

It's more than an hour for many destinations in the Midlands.

Which ones?

Birmingham to Leeds, 1hr 9 mins.

Wow, so a ~2 hour journey becomes ~1 hour. Well worth the money then.

You'd say the same about a road scheme which produced the same journey time
reduction, presumably?

1:58 becomes 49m, actually.

Depends where it was and how much it cost. If it cost 100B then forget it.
