Well we'll have an interesting experiment taking place on Saturday in Brighton. Busiest event of the year, and nobody's coming into town by train, even if they want to. Car will be king, just for one day. Let's see how that pans out
So nothing can be done then and we just surrender our town centres to the tyranny of the private car? I'd suggest that that the introduction of a congestion charge would reverse at least some of these trends overnight
The magnificent Tramlink that serves Croydon and South London took just over 3 years to build and has 39 stations. It has absolutely transformed transport in the area to an extent that Brighton can only dream of
This. Bus congestion is a bit daft in central Brighton, sometimes up to half a dozen buses queueing to use a single stop. Still far better than allowing private cars free rein in and around the town centre tho. They need booting out completely, or a swingeing congestion charge imposed.
