Labour belebt das Northern Powerhouse Rail-Projekt mit der Zusage von 45 Milliarden Pfund wieder

Let’s hope so. Our railway system leaves much to be desired in comparison to other countries across Europe.

So they acknowledge the WCML is fucked at capacity and nothing can be done to the line directly to improve that.

But all they do is a vague fucking promise of new line between Birmingham and Manchester after 2045. HS2 between Birmingham and Crewe was predicted to cost 5billion in todays money so lets say the cost ballons to around 10billion you can actually clear capicity on the WCML the whole point of this work.

Your already spending 80 billion on a line which is likely to fuck capacity even harder on the WCML. Spend the extra 10billion and fix the fucking capacity issues to some degree.

Edit: You can silently downvote if you want it doesnt make you right lol. The WCML is fucked were building 90% of the solution to solve it but we decide nahh we will stop there and not build the most valuable part of HS2 getting out to Crewe. I hated most things about Boris Johnsons politics but he was absolutly right about phase 2a of HS2.

I got excited until I read further and realised we won’t see this until 2045. Why does it have to take that long?

They’re know they’re not going to be there when the costs double or triple but it’s a nice political weapon to attack the government of the day.

I mean great but I’ll probably have departed the station by 2045.
