What a joke of a country we are that we can't even get trains right. Underinvestment, ridiculously high fares for some, still cheaper to fly across some parts of the UK as oppose to using the train, still cheaper in some cases to take your car with door to door convenience.
As usual, years of political parties blaming each other, blah blah blah. And the solution amidst all of this?
Let's build a new line that'll cost somewhere between £65 - £100 billion, with limited benefits.
In trains terms, for a country that used to be a world beater and innovator, I'll repeat myself. What a joke we've become.
