We do have broad band Oop north  :lol:

Yes I know you do, but getting a decent SLA for "reasonable" money in the UK is nigh on impossible, and SDSL is rare outside of the capital too.   I wasn't so much suggesting there wasn't infrastructure around, but there is definitely room for improvement :)

Damn right, reduce demend for travel is the only way to reduce travel.

After all, the trains are full to the point where they are dangerous, they can't recruit enough bus drivers even if there was any more road to put them on, the tube is way over capacity (sorry, but I like being able to take my bag to work ;)) no-one in their right mind would walk and cycling is only for the serioulsy suicidal.

The only answer is to reduce the demand for travel.

Besides, if I were a buyer, would I buy from a loondun company or their cheaper competitior in Milton Keynes?  who's goods would be delivered faster and cheaper?

Leave loondun to the tourist I say.

P.S., why is loondun the capital anyway, it's not in the middle of the country (though it thinks it's the centre of the universe)?

Anyone?



Because it was the easiest place for the Romans to invade ;)

Sheddy:
Is that why the Roman capital of Britain was Colchester?

graham:
In Holland they run double decker trains not sure if they are lower slung over the bogies, our bridges may be too low to run them which sounds about right.
Any train spotters who can throw some light on it?
