Reversing the decline in passenger numbers
Reversing the decline in passenger numbers
(03 Dec 2021, 8:33 am)54APhotography The whole subject needs serious attention, the fact is there will be no reopening of railway lines bar the Ashington line. There will be no Metro expansion, and there will be no new money for trunk road improvements - that was clearly stamped the day after the lying clown Johnson harped on about the region and his connectivity pledge.
So, where do you start. Tax cars off the road, I'm all for that, but it's not going to happen. Promise more buses? You can't as the driver shortage isn't going away, and won't. Put more Metros on? You can't because of the signalling used, and worse to come when new trains arrive you'll have to stand on almost every journey, won't catch me or many others settling for that.
And hard as it is to muddle all this together, and wham - along comes net zero..
And despite what is said here, a cold reality is, nobody is listening, nobody wants to take the bull by the horns..
