    I like the 4000mph UK/USA tunnel one best.

    A gigantic, free to use, web based distance learning machine with reasonably low cost hard to pass examinations that count for something. Practical science experiments could be sold on the high street for pre-exam practice.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Totally out there idea that no one will have thought about before and will never happen.

        How about update the motorway network to be sustainable over the next 50 years and address congestion areas that cost us all so much time and frustration.

          Can we build a giant wall around Manchester? Anything lower than say Nottingham and above Nortallerton? Better yet lets just isolate Yorkshire and leave the rest of the UK to fester without us

            You mean you'd take Bradford off our hands?

              I have been thinking about the HSL2 which may or may not go ahead.

              Surely a better option would be a maglev with the existing rail network having branch lines to the mag lev stations so the mag lev pretty much runs straight from London to Glasgow with stops near the major cities e.g. Brimingham, Manchester/Leeds etc.

                Totally agree, I often wonder how many man hours are lost to unnecessary congestion or the real cost of accident caused by carelessness.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  I agree with that as I do not think we will get away from the fact everyone wants to use a car!

                  We could though have better 'park n ride' schemes for example it takes me approx 20 mins to get to the outskirts of Manchester (approx 25 miles) and then another 40-60 mins to get to the centre (approx 5 miles) I would be more than happy to park up and catch some mass transit to the centre.
