Britain needs high-speed lines, not Victorian-era railways
Activer le mode zenMark Bostock
"By focusing on the perceived mismanagement of today's rail system, Simon Jenkins blinds himself to the opportunities presented by high-speed rail (High-speed rail will bleed us all for a few rich travellers, 6 January).
"History proves that connectivity drives economic prosperity. Yes, gargantuan projects "cost a lifetime of money", while privatisation and over-regulation have left railways "wildly expensive to build and run". The danger is that the difficulty of moving around our congested little island may push us into a spiral of economic decline."
