It seems that way. We always manage to take the cheapest option and never quite go the whole hog in anything any government takes on! It would appear that whoever or whatever body is in control they only ever go half way to a solution. That applies to so much this country is involved with!
I wonder if the people who authorized and organized the building of all the infrastucture for the olympics want to reveiw HS2 because that seems to be going without a hitch!!!!
