QUOTE (pbonnay @ May 21 2014, 06:07 PM)  To briefly mention HS2.... I have sympathy for the proponents of HS2. Some people say why can't we have a high speed rail network like they have on the Continent, and then object to us building one. I remember the row about the M25. When it was finally built, people then complained that there weren't any service stations/rest areas - what, on the same green belt you didn't want built on in the first place? This deserves another thread. |

Trains are HORRIBLE places to be.
You rarely get a seat. If you do you end up sat next to some hideously fat person who smells of fondue. -------------------- :p
