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.

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.

btw, what they don't tell you is that massive underground digging activity is actually a cover up for Govt preparing new nuclear bunkers for WW3, you've heard it on here first...
Those bunkers won't take riff raff from this forum other than SueEllen because she knows everything and will be of great use in the post-nuclear war world...
P.S. They might also take Brillo but only because he will be handy in powering the bunkers using bicycle power generator...

If they're going to print (QE) some more money for infrastructure projects then we should all get a vote where the money goes.
If they can fund billions for Crossrail and HS2 they can sort out a better link from Devon to Cornwall for us down here to get to the cider festivals. Only 100 mil or so for an alternative line to the one that gets washed away at Dawlish.
I thought with all the second homes for the londoners down here they'd have pushed that through by now. Maybe we need toll charges on the M5 for non-locals so we can tax their luxobarges each weekend.
