"Shall I go on" - or dream on?. It's so easy to rattle out all this stuff about trains without considering the enormous cost of installing track, and the impact on the communities that the trains run through. Even when the trains are built their prices are extortionate - look at the way train fares rose year upon year even as air fares were falling. The Tories reckon that we can whizz up a couple of hundred miles of high speed track to Leeds, yes good idea, you can't fly from London to Leeds so we need a quick way of getting there. Will they build it? - Nah, they haven't even managed to electrify the track that they have got. |
