upgrading the brakes on trains (and other safety systems) means they can run trains closer together. Has worked fine in other European countries.Originally posted by Paddy
Still, if they got rid of the middle lane hogs and properly enforced the 70mph limit then motorway capacity could be doubled over night.Coffee's for closersComment

They are not 'Daily Mail' opinions Lucy, they are our opinions - they just don't coincide with yours. This is another Government stealth tax. The idea is great in theory and would work if they cut fuel duty and road tax but they wont. This has nothing to do with ecology or congestion - it is a way to get more money out of Joe Public. If they were really interested in congestion and polution they would be taxing the hell out of the foreign lorries that are coming over from the continent, running on cheap fuel and pricing our hauliers out of existence.Originally posted by LucyComment

Seriously, though, the problem here is simple: small, overcrowded island with finite land, steadily growing number of cars. I don't know the answer unless it's paving over the whole country.
Personally I have got rid of my car(s) which is easy to do in London.Tis a great relief not to contribute to Gordon's pot, I have lost a few pounds and I don't feel guilty (moneywise) taking a taxi when I want to.Hard Brexit now!

Good for you, but the majority of people in this country don't want/can't live in central London, and hence the need a car. As someone who drives > 20k miles a year I can tell you that Journeys have not got any worse than they were 10 years ago, in some cases they have got easier.Originally posted by sasguruThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Indeed. Borrow the designs from the APT: it used improved brakes so that it could run fast on the same lines, using the existing signal spacing.Originally posted by Spacecadet
And how is it that other countries can use double-decker trains? Did they all build bigger tunnels in the first place? Raise the tunnel if need be. If you can't, lower the track!
The railways in the UK are in a dire state because of 25-30 years of serious underinvestment. Fixes to the railways that don't involve fixes to the underinvestment are unlikely to work.
Trouble is we want it on the cheap. We've had the money that should have been spent on mainaining and improving the world's best railway network, and we've spent it (mostly on boosting the price of our house purchases).Comment
