Crossrail 2

I watched one of those nuclear bomb programs when I was a kid with the aftermath and I decided then it would be better to be dead.

Always better to be dead than live in the type of hole that would have a nuke falling on it in the first place.

I'm safe unless the enemy want to wipe out a few sheep, rabbits, or pheasants. Hope they know how to spell peasants.

"Ministers should prioritise developingthe £33bn Crossrail 2 line in London in order to prevent the capital “grinding to a halt”, according to the independent body advising the government on Britain’s long-term infrastructure projects.

Funding should be released immediately to enable work on the rail link – which would run from north to south across the capital – to start as soon as the first Crossrail route is completed in 2019, the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) said.

London should pay at least half of the expected £33bn bill for Crossrail 2, but the development of the north-south rail line should be a priority with benefits for the entire nation, according to Andrew Adonis, the NIC chair."

So, Crossrail 1 - no problems with funding, now Crossrail 2 - let's put another 33 bln and nobody says a word against, but when it comes to HS2 then suddenly they are all up in arms

HS2 puts Birmingham closer to London.

Need a high speed link that follows the M62. Five stops - Liverpool, Warrington (to link with West Coast Main Line), Manchester Victoria, Leeds, Hull. Feck Bradford off, nobody wants to go there anyway.

Is that so they can get the drugs, benefit cheques and deep fried mars bars distributed more rapidly?
