Motorway speeds: Get used to driving at 40mph

[lilelvis2000]

This is partly a result of privatising the railways IMO. The private companies shut or cut back frequency on many routes in the midlands so it's all but impossible to commute by train from outlying areas.

It was exactly this situation (commuting in the midlands) that finally prompted me to learn to drive. I couldn't have taken the job otherwise.

We need an integrated & well thought out transport policy, not just more spending on roads. Instead we get what I suspect is a purely ideological decision



how is that going to help? They are going to need a new agency to oversee the public corporation anyway, so either it's just going to cost more overall or they plan on giving the corporation less money to spend on actually making it work. Stupid ****ers.

Its all about helping their cronies out...have you not figured out what politics is about these days. As if they care if it costs more - they'll just invent a new tax and a credit where you'll be worse off by several £ a week.

Yeah, how the hell has society gone downhill so fast.
