Final 3 Greens you make some really good points. The only thing I would come back on is that people say "well all you need is a fast rail link" and that's true. I live here, I know that. The truth is that the sheer over population in this part of the world prevents strategic transport objectives like that. In the real world it is a nightmare, however much we cannot lose sight of the ideal.
I disagree with some of what you say but you make your points well sir. I am not holding my breath for a fast rail link as they have just begin work on Crossrail, some 18 years late.....
