Whilst this is partly true - for instance Crossrail / Elizabeth line was debated when I was a teenager, and only completed when I was the other side of 50, this also happen with #motorways / highways - there is no #motorway in the whole of #Suffolk and any plans to expand the A14 highway or deal with the bottleneck of the Orwell Bridge in #Ipswich get regularly rejected - its not even "value for the taxpayer" but also a suprising consensus of rich #NIMBY types who live in the rural areas and #Green activists who are unsurprisingly opposed to more road building - they do have a point as I can remember #M25 being built and soon getting gridlocked - but Suffolk does need *something* to cope with peak time traffic to/from the busy port at #Felixstowe

@vfrmedia

I’ve always believed that #HS2 must be a conspiracy to extend the profiteering and back pocket stuffing opportunities as far as possible into the twenty-first century.

They have always managed to ride rough-shod over any and all concerns about the #environment and society at large, they have become symbolic of the British #authoritarian state.

@vfrmedia I live in the rural area regularly suggested for the northern bypass and I WISH we could have a damn dual carriageway out here. I can't tell you how fed up I am of commuting on the A1120 every day.
