@pmdfoster@Sime0nStylites Science cannot lead you unless you first tell it where you want to go.
Boris and co need to tell us what priorities they specified to “the science”, and equally importantly, when.
@bengoldacre Ben, I recently heard you on the radio talking about expanding your data platform. I was in touch when you launched it, for a dev ops contract role. I'd still be thrilled to be involved with such a cool and worthwhile project. Need another pair of hands?
@HaydenVernon Wow. Utterly piss poor journalism today missing out the “sought to” and replacing it with “had”.
You should amend that. I’ll expect to see the mea culpa in the corrections column, yes?
@colinrtalbot@DMinghella@GeordieThompson Given that the whole point of the two year old tweet you are randomly replying to is that they did not give any evidence, I am inclined to write you off as a bit of a nut with an axe to grind.
@mike_bidde60926 @DannyKodicek @MatthewStadlen@DavidGHFrost I can answer it for you, too: If you had any aerospace experience worth speaking of you wouldn’t have come out with that guff in the first place.
@mike_bidde60926 @DannyKodicek @MatthewStadlen@DavidGHFrost Mate. You made up a lot of pie in the sky and then used it to disparage a perfectly sensible idea. You don’t like being ridiculed? Don’t make up technology to justify your bias.
You act like the epitome of Tory Nimbyism - and then pretend you’re the victim.
@DannyKodicek @mike_bidde60926@MatthewStadlen@DavidGHFrost I’ve always got time to shoot down an idiot or two. The problem is there’s a ton of ‘em.
The first rule of Dunning Kruger club is that you don’t know you’ve joined Dunning Kruger club :)
I’m spending almost all of my time on Threads these days as a result.
@DannyKodicek @mike_bidde60926@MatthewStadlen@DavidGHFrost We currently have about a 90/10 split of road/rail freight.
In order to reduce carbon output by a net 1/8th, we need to double rail freight (to get to 80/20).
In conclusion, this whole idea is a climate change denier’s wet dream that wasn’t really even worth debunking.
@DannyKodicek @mike_bidde60926@MatthewStadlen@DavidGHFrost Finally, it is based on a totally false premise, as is the moron Frost’s original point:
HS2 is not about individual’s transit times.
HS2 is about segregating high and low speed rail so that we can get high speed freight on the network, with a commensurate drop in road freight.
We overpaid for some long forgotten reason and they are “tidying up customer accounts” and didn’t want to write us off as a creditor (which they could easily have done) and keep the cash.
Brilliant. Nice people.
