According to The Independent today, the Government are due to unveil a 30-year transport plan. How admirable.
Does it mention renationalisation of the railways? Nope. Further investment in our transport systems then? Not in it’s present form. Pie-in-the-sky thinking? Bingo! Yes, our Government has decided that the best way forward when it comes to transport is (and I quote) “light-rail systems” (read “Trams”) and “fresh initiatives to improve local bus services”. Not anything silly, like, say, further investment in high speed railways and motorways to improve long distance travel and further investment in commuter lines (CrossRail, Thameslink 2000) to improve commuter travel.
Welcome to 2034, Transport Hell

One day people will stop moving at all. And that’s what is all about, I believe.
