Odd obsession in the media with comparing the respective journey times from Euston. It's only quicker on the West Coast Line if Euston is where you want to go to or where you want to go from.

Not really an outer suburb, but I get your point. I always thought it odd they didn't just create a short spur on the central line. The vast majority of people coming into Euston aren't going to get on a train to go North again are they ? They will get on the underground.

You would use either if (and if) it goes into Euston. But of course makes more sense if it goes into Manchester. HS2 v the West Coast line to me, is a bit the "South to North" London choice of using the Northern Line or the Victoria Line. You need both to deal with capacity.

Frank Sinatra hadn't died. It's a mute point. The stories were based on a leaks from the treasury and of course made a nice story, but a complete distraction. My issue I'll reiterate. Something like that should be announced in Parliament and not at a conference. Conferences are a party...

Your post arrogantly ignores the lack of potential heightened bat collision legalisation in Japan.

Just a note. For the media to attack the pre-filmed video made by the PM is a mute point and in reality highly hypocritical. Anyone who works in TV knows pre-filmed content to be used (or not used) dependent on a future event has been part and parcel of TV News for decades. I used to run a...

I love a good Spanish over spend. One of my favourite places to have a chilled glass of wine is under that mushroom in Seville.

The Conservatives have always been ambivalent towards public transport. I think many MPs wake up some morning thinking it's a terribly left wing thing. Deep in their thinking over the last 13 years has been those who don't use it shouldn't "subsidise" it. A bizarre nod to their commuters of...

Crossrail 2 has been kicked into the long grass. To be fair other countries have their cock ups too. Spain has wasted billions / gone over budget on a number of infrastructure projects, municipal buildings and that famous disused airport.

I used to quite like the idea of HS2 but changed my view a long while ago. It doesn't go anywhere you can't get already. I'd like to see new routes, not faster existing ones. I realise that a lot of those old lines were shut because they were "loss making". Is the M25 expected to make a profit ?
