yes Tommy, fair points.
there are questions now as to the utility of this high speed rail network proposal too,
linking cities only, cutting out all the intermediate stops.
I dont know, the whole transport network of this country is creaking like a dried out bottom bracket, ready to sieze up at any moment.
perhaps Sustrans should relinquish all the routes and turn them back into local transport? (joke) sometimes laugh at the way that the demise of medium distance rail routes led in part to the creation of the National Cycle Network.....
whatever way you look at it its difficult, and the ministry for transport is about the least sexy role to be in Government, if they try and make major changes no benefit is seen for a decade, ministers seem to change by the month,
so now we have the most ostensibly promising one for ages, (Adonis) and... he and his ambitions may be doomed when the new lot get in anyway. hey ho.
Sadiq Khan is on the right track too in London.
one certainty:- your journeys by bike are exactly, perfectly, efficient and time predictable. enjoy the ride.
