Absolutely agree with this, and have been saying it since day zero... "Northern Powerhouse Rail" is a dreadful name that needs to be knocked into the annals of history.
"New high speed line between Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford and Leeds" cannot be wriggled out of so easily.
Nicola Sturgeon quotes Suella Braverman who said it was her “dream” to see an asylum flight take off for Rwanda.
She adds: “*My* dream is that we live in a world where those fleeing violence and oppression are shown compassion and treated like human beings, not shown the door.”
The now regular attack line to call me a doom-prophet is bizarre. I'm the MoneySavingExpert & we're amid the biggest inflation crisis for 50yrs. Sadly I can't gloss over it.
If you're in a boat & see an iceberg, best to warn to steer away, not wait to see if you hit it.
Who says branch lines should be closed?!? There are 20 folk (and a lovely dog) waiting at Calstock for the local train to Plymouth today. And the train was well loaded when it arrived!
A new sleeper train starts next Thursday: Hamburg to Stockholm overnight, bringing Sweden closer. I'm booked on the inaugural northbound train on 1 September, so tune in next week for a Scandinavian rail adventure...

Never take a chance on a level crossing - rail is ALWAYS on❗
