Dear Sim
Thanks for a great read. Have you seen my very unusual railway photos, here?
So super fast it goes flying past stations that will still need intercity trains to stop at them. Am I right?
So expensive, just think how £106 billion could be used to rebuild our very Victorian railway network (Sir David Higgins, Ch Exec of Network Fail on the 'Today' programme 8 January 2013.)
So necessary because your colleagues, Sim over many decades have obliterated so much of the network that Beeching rightly closed in the 60s. All your predecessors, Sim did the real hatchet job. Not Richard Beeching, who rightly closed loss making railways as we all went out and bought cars.
So foolish of the railway industry to think that once the railways were closed, they were ripe for running homes, shops, offices and roads down them. Bizarre railways - and the unions were no better.
So intelligent of the railway experts to turn railway lines and bus routes into "bus on rails" trams on tracks on roads. When all that was needed was fareless electric buses on roads and commuter, regional and intercity TRAINS on our two mainline railways in the Black Country and Brum!
So Railfuture had the right idea but, only back in 2003, here:
Best wishes
Tim
