No monorail - how about a miniature train?

Near Dorchester, Dorset
Tunbridge Wells would be the obvious (and most popular) terminus I would have thought.

Or we could actually build The Brighton Line as a miniature railway?

Apparently Bar(stard)ber has vetoed the monorail project at The Amex. How about a Brooklands style miniature train.

That's just typical of the narrow gauge thinking around our club.

Shame the greens didn't try, like other major world cities, to get an underground system installed. This would be able to support both universities and the football stadium. Granted there would be problems with the hills, but they have spent their money on cycle lanes which aren't a lot of good for older people or people not fit enough to cycle up our ridiculous gradients.

This isn't going to happen unless an oil rich Arab or oligarch is involved and Brighton isn't a major world city for starters!

Crossrail's budget is £14.8 billion with a plan for thirty nine stations.

No council of any colour is going to fund a scheme like this, especially if it's not going to see a return. Councils simply aren't given budgets for it, and if they can't make a case for its financial viability, it's dead in the water.

However, the Greens, as you put it, haven't spent anything on cycle lanes. Nor for that matter - if you're talking about the Lewes Road cycle lanes - has Brighton & Hove City Council.
