Planning for the Future
a) afford to use it when you consider the 'carbon tax' that will be levied upon machinery used
b) need to use it when you consider the possible developments in things like Skype and the increase in the number of people who work from home.
c) want to use it when it is for people, rather than moving goods?
Perhaps the money could be better invested in developing an Internet network for the entire country that is so blazingly fast that high speed rail travel will seem lumbering by comparison.

(PS: I was going to say Mickey MouseAnnual, but thought it might be taken the wrong way!)
i want to go on that lovely, long, fast, shiny thing! can we? please?? it'll be fun and we'll probably have the whole train to ourselves...
Simple ideas are always the best and more economical. I think it was Jeremy Hardy on The News Quiz who suggested that if people wanted to get to Birmingham earlier they should catch an earlier train.
