We need a major change in mind set. The Tax payer needs to be aware of the real cost of road transport in terms of up keep, new roads, delays, accidents, polution etc. There is an urgent need to get us out of our cars and frieght off the road. The question is how to do it. Whatever we do there is a cost and a lot of the costs of road transport are never really calculated.
The costs of building High Speed 2 are there for everyone to see so they can be shot at and complained about! I would much prefer to travel by rail but it has got to be at a reasonable cost and I need a reasonable transport system at the other end. So how do we do it?!
