doesn't it say something about the viability of the overall project?
One THIRD is Government money..! OURS
Only Two Thirds is Private investment !
THAT in my book is a "Government Hand Out" so yes if its good enough fro LHR a "much smaller amount" is good enough for Manchester !
Where are the ROI figures for Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle etc based on this patronage ?
SHD and indeed the adverts keep banging on about connectivity, this tsunami of wealth coursing at lightening speed thru the arteries of the country as whole.
What does it actually amount to in GLA NCL LBA ?
They may end up getting an extra shuttle a day OR maybe Exeter and IOM gaining a twice daily A320 !
AND OH MY GOD "Rail Investment" high on rhetoric low on investment at least in the N West where we have just inherited a load of clapped out shunters from Thameslink ....who funnily enough are getting brand new shiny bright rolling stock !
How about comparisons with investment in London Underground, Cross rail London etc
