Reply to: Crossrail 2

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?

"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.

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.

Yes, the post-apocalyptic, flesh-eating zombies scared the hell out of me too.

There is an extra space in the bunker as I will be taking my suicide capsule when I'm sure the bomb is going off.

House prices are totally BOOMING around crossrail stations, even in Slough!!!

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...

Indeed, I'm selling one in Slough at this moment

Why sell now - wait a couple of years and collect twice the price!

No mention of house prices?

All the trains will be driverless soon. Though in the meantime, I think we should replace them with Bobs.....

Could they get them to work 24/7 then? Even if it's 1 train per hour at night time.

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.

I thought that was what Luton was for?
