There's a lot of it still around. Just shows the amount of underinvestment there has been for decades.Lol....We still use fucking Semaphores on some of my lines.

It wouldn’t people would just live here and commute to London, same as the tram in Manchester it doesn’t make people go to outlying towns it takes people from them into Manchester, why the fuck would I want to go into oldham it’s a shithole stay on it and go through to Manchester City centre.There's plenty of capacity on existing lines
An example being that when the operators increase the costs for "rush hour" travel, the trains immediately before and after are jam packed, where as the "rush hour" trains have plenty of space
And as I said earlier, the government admits upgraded signalling and the technology surrounding that would increase capacity
Also, studies on french high speed rail show that the major benefactor of HSR is Paris
People move away and commute in. It brings very little economic benefit to the regions
The money should have been invested in modern technology, not 40 year old tech
But please feel free to tell me why getting from London to Manchester 45 minutes quicker would bring jobs and investment
I agree, I bought Mary 5 lagers in The Ritz and I was very underwhelmed I can tell you.They should rename such ‘flagship’ projects as ‘Mary Rose‘ projects; hugely expensive and ultimately underwhelming.
