Here in Spain there are several High speed lines (AVE) being built, the local one being Alicante to Cartagena which have involved major bridge and tunnel works, all paid for by the E.U. Why can't the British Government get any of these E.U. funds? In the last 15 years the road and rail infrastructure of Spain has been transformed whereas in the UK the authorities squeal that they can't afford to fill potholes!
