IPPR suggest "Greater South East" rail body

Journeys have two ends; one end is frequently in central London. How many journeys start or finish at Victoria versus at Maidstone, or High Wycombe, or Hatfield? Even if a rail authority proportionally represented the origins and destinations of all journeys on the South East rail network, almost half the "seats" would be occupied by representation of central London; probably over half would be representatives from inside the GLA, i.e. TfL. No doubt you live in London, as well as work there. I don't doubt your sincerity. Neither do I doubt your self-interest, however. As someone who lives outside London, used to commute daily over a period of some years, and now still travels into London regularly, I have a different view. I fully understand your view, I just don't happen to agree with it. I see the need for balance between the interests of people living in London and those outside London who commute, whereas you want the interests of Londoners to dominate. I am not asking for the views of commuters from outside London to dominate, merely for them to be included in a balanced overview. Perhaps you should make just a tiny bit more effort to understand others' views, especially those of people whose personal circumstances differ from your own. Tony |
