Cutting off the North from HS2 is a national disgrace - Lemmy

We are already living through a “life sentence of inadequate train service”

Fuck building new lines designed for speed, invest that money in making the existing network better. Trains are already disgustingly over priced in exchange for a disrespectfully shit service. How about investing in making what is already there affordable and actually reliable, fucking privatisation bullshit.

I don’t care if the train takes 8 or 10 hours to go from one end of the country to the other what I care about is the fact that you are raped by the 200 plus charge.

Public transport in this country is a fucking joke and what with this prick rolling back and taking some car positive outlook towards the future for this country it doesn’t look like it is gonna improve anytime soon. Fuck I hate this place.

Fuck building new lines designed for speed, invest that money in making the existing network better.

Building new, modern railway lines is one way to improve the network. I don’t really understand why anyone who advocates for investment in the railways has a problem with building new lines. I agree that they shouldn’t be private anymore and that we should massively increase funding, but building new rail and replacing old rail with new rail seems like a great way to improve the network
