I read an article in Practical Classic the other day about a fully manufactured from bio products petrol. Carbon neautral because the carbon it releases is in exact balance with the carbon in the ingredients.

They tried it in 4 or 5 classic cars and none ofthe drivers noticed a difference.

£4.85 a litre though.

Quite. What a tit, calls out Starmer(of whom I am not a fan) for changing his mind, after himself forming 2 colossal "u turns" in the past fortnight. Sap

How much fucking money has been wasted there?

A vast amount. I know London is the centre of the universe according to Westminster, but it would have made a nice change to have started the project from the north and headed south rather than start from London and go north. (and evidently not even get there)

The railway network as a whole, in this country is so bad with expensive tickets and poor reliability. For it to be in this state in 2023 is a pretty sad state of affairs.

Next to zero High Speed, multiple derailments of Cargo trains and a massively underfunded network, which isn't going to change as they've gone with car or plane as the options really.  I can get a train from Atlanta to Orlando, it takes 17 hours! (Just over 400 miles)

I don't know the history but is that due to lack of demand leading to closure or vice versa.

Watched a few films about travelling by train in the US and it seems to be a very middle class thing on anything beyond the local sort of metro regional things in towns/cities.
