East West Rail is saying all things to all people on electrification. To Gov "discontinuous electrification would mean overhead lines would only need to be installed along some sections of the route, which would reduce disruption to existing structures " (1/2)

One of the key drivers of #CambridgeSouth is to support Cambridge's sustainable transport strategy. To that end, we've connected the new station to the local cycle network and providing 1000 bicycle spaces for a range of different bike shapes and sizes.

Going by train is one of the greenest ways to travel, so...we headed to @suffolkcc #Ipswich, set up a stall and talked with folks about the benefits of taking the train to work. We conducted a survey and gave everyone who filled one out a water bottle or cake! #CommunityRailWeek

It’s time to put some political-economy into the New Towns programme. The Forest City project has always had a very strong thread of municipalism, and what could be re-termed as @AndyBurnhamGM’s Manchesterism. It’s time to bring housing, transport, water, power and nature together and ensure that the people of a place, not distant shareholders, are the real beneficiaries.

So begins the familiar cycle of fear mongering stories about a new railway. Next, coverage & support for protests. Then once angry people & protestors have increased the cost with mitigation, legal battles & extra security, there will be media outrage over the increased costs.
