Off the rails

So the government’s high speed rail project to get us quickly into London is coming off the rails. Apparently the £50 billion that have been earmarked to spend on this project is too much to justify the benefits. Personally I would rather that they spend the money on improving existing connections to ensure that transport is more reliable and up to date; especially buses when you've been standing at a stop for half an hour wondering whether the damn thing will show up. We need a robust transport structure in place across the country so that people can get about easier. And we need them later too; at least once an hour in the evenings would certainly make life simpler. It would certainly help the people who are currently being forced out of their homes to make way for four bits of steel. So let’s use modern technology a bit more to help get our nation moving.
