stan bowles · 3 Oct 2023

Scrap it if you like Sunak, but don't pretend you give a fuck about any of the UK outside London. Let's hear more promises instead about levelling up that you have no intention of fulfilling.

hcblue95 · 3 Oct 2023

I was always against hs2. It was obviously going to be a vehicle for corruption dodgy contracts and never about leveling up. Now that they've spunked the money on going half way I don't see how anyone from Manchester could be happy they're canceling the Manchester leg?

If you think the money saved will be used to improve northern infrastructure I don't know where you've been the last 13 years.

Dave Ewing's Back 'eader · 3 Oct 2023

What I can't understand is that if HS2 were such a money spinner when it would be up and running it wouldn't need the taxpayers' money in the first place. Surely, the construction companies have had a golden egg dropped into their laps? But once up and running would it be running half empty and need Govt subsidies to pay out to shareholders. What it has demonstrated, not that it needed any more confirmation, is that those gobshites sitting on the green benches have not the slightest interest in providing good government for the benefit of the people who did, and didn't, elect them. Those 'pirates' in the unseaworthy ship Westminster are laughing all the way to the office where they hand in their expense sheets.

Inspired Villages, St Monica Lane, Kingswood - 280 Assisted Living Units

£500,000,000 for 280 units of housing.

This isn’t my area of expertise but £2m per “unit” seems like a ridiculous amount of money.

Centur100ns · 3 Oct 2023

I used to get the train to London a couple of times a month when it was operated by Virgin. Got on at Stockport and off at Euston and I am sure it was 1hr 55 mins which was a completely acceptable journey time for the distance. There were 3 services an hour also which seemed good.

I got on it the other week with the new provider and they seem to have added more stops to the journey thus turning it into a 2hr 10 min journey (probably to make more money from the same train), they appeared to be less frequent and then announced an apology for lack of seats as they had 2 less carriages.

I can understand there being a driver shortage and strikes to cause delays but not having enough carriages just seems really poor preparation or maintenance planning from the company.

It seemed a pretty decent service to me before but has been made worse in both time and traveller comfort by the supplier. You don’t need to spend billions to improve that.

Hope for better, fear for worse

This isn’t my area of expertise but £2m per “unit” seems like a ridiculous amount of money.

Makes you wonder who's actually being "assisted" in this project doesn't it?

That list is filtered for the South East region only although number 1 is the same number 1 as for the whole UK.
Interestingly, if it’s filtered for the North West, the Etihad north stand expansion comes in at £1.5bn so not sure where the figures are from.

I hate saying this, but we need to get some French input on this to get it finished. If nothing else the French can do infrastructure much better and cheaper than us. Once the Irish didn’t need the work, we were stuffed.

Are the residents of Oxfordshire arguing that? I would think that they don't want to be in the same area as Dudley or Wolverhampton (spits on ground after typing that!)

The French have the luxury of building most of their infrastructure upon open fields, and I understand there's nothing like the hullabaloo in French planning if the French Govt want their way!

Banbury is about 20 miles from Warwick - and so definitely isn’t in the south east!

The only extra capacity we need is direct services from Wembley to Ashburys on Sundays in late February and mid May.

HS2 - Birmingham to Manchester scrapped.
