What's your point? It is public money and it's been spent in a piece of public infrastructure. The fact that your elected MPs permit spending on such infrastructure knowing it can't be used to its greatest extent....? I can't blame CCC in this case, they've worked hard to get the funding...

You're brighter than this. It's not CCC's money. They had to bid for it (from the managing authority of the ERDF - DCLG I think), part of the bid is that the subject matter has to be delivered (European progs I was involved in allowed delivery til 2015). Therefore, the funding for the station...

D Who's going to take over scapegoat duties now?

It isn't, and I have no time for CCC. They delivered on their part by obtaining the money from DFT and ERDF. The fact there isn't sufficient trains to run isn't the council's fault. Also European money is provided in 7 year programmes, the last one being 07-13 which is where the council got...

Hahahaha. Fair play

Another thread from an enthusiasts forum: 2017 or 2019 mentioned as dates when some spare rolling stock / electrification might happen. http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=94176&page=2 These were always known issues yet the PR machine rolled on (unlike the trains)...

Interesting Network Rail's consultation; for whatever reason London Midland were seeking compensation off the back of the new stations...

Who don't actually pay either!

Waterman was always good with (rolling) Stock eh

In fairness I don't blame the SAG, huge crowds building up for a maximum of 75 (150 in either direction) spaces on a train is potentially unsafe.

You're right. I think most of the network that London Midland use is electrified and therefore they don't have much diesel stock. The NUCKLE line is supposed to electrified at some point but can't see it happening under the current government. Perhaps a few of the Nuneaton based posters can...

She's very naive and shows again that she's out of her depth. It still isn't her (or their) fault.

At least they owned everything so if a new station opened they'd be able to get hold of actual trains to run it. The train operating companies can't do that, they only lease trains from bank and investment fund owned companies who the Major government gave all the rolling stock away too. Those...

I said a few weeks ago there would be no increase in capacity. It's all thanks to the shambolic privatised rail industry, different private companies working in their own contradictory interests. Another classic Tory (and New Labour) scam of transferring public money to private hands. For...

On the contrary. It'll be the other way around imo.

Make your mind up on who you're on about

There is the option to change to 4-4-2 with Tudgay replacing Maddison, JOB and Murphy / Lameiras on wings but that doesn't have the 2 sitting central players

You love a bit of doom, as knee jerk as possible. You were right at it after the Nuneaton friendly.

In fairness wanting to do more than 40 on an A road isn't speeding There are some right busy bodies on here.
