New Gatwick Express fleet heralds start of airport?s rail revolution ? with tube-like frequency and doubling of capacity in just two years | London Gatwick: Obviously
Well we might not be seeing a rail revolution up North but thank goodness the government recognises the merit of a truly fantastic investment for passengers in the Northern Powerhouse anyway as news reaches us of the £6.5 bn (£6500,000,000m) Thameslink upgrade.
Essentially passengers in Liverpool Manchester and Leeds should now be able to get to Gatwick in half the time it takes now with sparkling new fast trains to central London every few minutes.
With no scheduced air service I'm personally euphoric that the train is finally "taking the strain".
Great to see taxpayer funds from up here at last be used in a thoroughly sensible manner providing great connectivity to the South East!
