Surely, if they want to get us all on the trains, we need:
- nicer, more reliable trains
- Tickets as cheap as budget airlines (or better still, cheaper)
- Joined up ticketing.
- Integrated into the rest of the public transport system a bit better.
No, they'll just place a very heavy tax on air transport, until it forces people to stay at home, use alternatives or just pay up.
- toll roads and road pricing
- congestion charging
Just two items on this government's track record sheet.
