Get you lads. In Bedworth here. Fucking mental.

Not really. If you can’t get the political will to go Birmingham to London good luck getting your Nuneaton to Bridlington line built. Also you’re studiously avoiding the point that if you don’t increase capacity where people are using the train you can’t release capacity to serve everywhere else.

If shit were free (Politically) build it everywhere. I’d give every town above 100k a tram and build undergrounds in places like Birmingham and Manchester. Get a high speed east west line from Norwich through Cambridge, MK, Oxford, Bristol, Cardiff, Plymouth. But right now we can’t even get one...

Double bubble cos it frees Saka up for an AM role if Palmer is still out and Allen/Ayari not up for 90 mins. Edit: and means we can play 433!

What Calvin Robinson done? Other than being Calvin Robinson.

It’s hinted at. He doesn’t say who, says he’ll discuss it after the game. Turner assumes MvE cos he had no pain.

The point is very few people fly Manchester to Paris. I think I saw basically less than a trains worth each day, so a through route wouldn’t be viable. I’m not a trainspotter but I think there’s a disparity with the track gauges used as well. Manchester (and Glasgow/Leeds/Edinburgh) needs a...

Big infra can only be justified where there’s people to use it. That’s why no connection to HS1, as few people travel from Manchester to Paris compared to Manchester to London. But taking intercity trains off onto their own lines means more local services. And the easier it is for people to move...

Who do you reckon would sign him if he were available?

Were 14 years in and it’s due to be finished in 6-10 years 🤷🏻‍♂️

Firstly carbon costs, I think George was being very pessimistic as to whether we decarbonise the electricity supply. Also not really the point. Secondly the disbelief in fairly standard practice for calculating economic benefits of infrastructure. Thirdly “don’t people travel enough?” No...

What’s your plan for rail capacity?

Where do they fall in the 18-24 bracket?

Can you bet on player injury times? 🤨

LOL

If for no other reason than it would have been far cheaper per mile and then the political pressure from London would have ensured the last leg got done.

Thought he wasn’t his best when he came back before TBF. Still good but not what he can be. We can’t be relying on him, certainly this side of the transfer window.

And it works. Clearly.

All they care about is winning and if not this election the next one, so we get oil and gas licences that Labour can’t cancel or they’re unstable for business, and can’t keep because they’re bad environmentally. And that’s all that matters. HS2, punt it all to Labour so you can moan about...

Fixing potholes by keeping huge amounts of freight on the road. Genius. I find once you realise that literally all policy from the govt from now until they finally give in to electoral gravity and go are just about pumping the base in the hopes of sticking around post GE and setting traps for...
