We are not just facing road gridlock but also rail gridlock due to the high volumes and lack of capacity. <snip> The truth is we need to encourage modal shift and substantial extra capacity throughout our transport system.
So true. The only real expansion has been motorways and it's been true for the 35 years of my adult life and I do not expect to see it change in any significant way. We adopted the American idea of personal car above public transport and now we are stuck sitting in the traffic jam.
No need to get excited about imminent change, the very fact that yet another commission is cranking up tells you all you need to know about British politicians.
