Meanwhile the poorer will be taking whatever the equivalent of the Megabus is in 2040 or whenever.<br /><br />This investment isn't happening now, oh no, not during a recession, just pencilled in for much later. It's insane. Labour needs to be brave and promise renationalisation of the rail network. Then we can talk investment rather than massive subsidies for the already rich.Burchnoreply@blogger.com
