High speed rail links?? It would take years for these to be implemented judging by the railways at the moment. And rail fares are shocking. you can get return flights to most places in europe for less than the price of a return from leeds to london.
Why don't they put costs down for things they want people to do instead of always hiking up the costs of things they want to stop people doing?
I know- it'll never happen, that's just not how things work...
