I saw this news report today. The headline:
"Arguments against high-speed lines are ‘comical’ says transport minister"
It seems that, in stark contrast with his predecessors, Lord Adonis the transport minister is looking beyond just the price tag of a major public transport infrastructire project and seeing the wider context, which of course includes the even more considerable costs of inaction.
This is of course the need to address transport congestion in the UK by developing a national high speed rail network, which would allow intercity trains to run on dedicated lines at 186mph or even faster. Adonis not only recognises the merits of this concept, but also seems quite insistent on pushing it forward as fast as is possible in British Politics.
A minister who is making rational, down to earth decisions, and above all getting things done! What's wrong with the world?! It's playing with my mind!!
