Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

I'd just like to have a reliable, on-time, seats reserved method of catching a train from Wigan North Western to Euston or go up the road to Glasgow. Right now I don't give a flying pfhuck about catching a train from Clitheroe to Burnsall or Skipton. Let's sort out the main lines first.

Not sure I agree with you on this one BT. By far the biggest improvement in local transport since I moved to Radcliffe in early 1991 has been the introduction and subsequent spread of Metrolink much of it on either existing or restored rail links.

Numerous plans to get traffic off the roads and onto rail are now to be scrapped, to 'save' a trivial sum, investment that would pay for itself and improve the struggling transport infrastructure, all to be dumped. Welcome to life under Labour.
