It's one of the few things I agree with Jezza on. Nationalised public transport system. If we're going to reduce our carbon footprint, getting polluting HGVs off the road and on to electrified, dedicated freight lines is the way to go. That and not having three separate entities running the railway system, all competing to deliver their own targets.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostThat's the difference between Jezza and I.
