As the new administration lays out the cuts which it needs to make in transport spending, it confuses me as why there is so much fuss made by the various interest groups.
I mean, do they actually think that can influence the decisions being made by the new government? A government which has been given the job of disposing of one trillion pounds worth of debt.
To be honest I feel that all of us should feel lucky that we have any rail infrastructure left after the bankrupt state
which the previous administration had left us in and so the cancellation of a few rolling stock orders will not keep me awake at night.
Yes, we do have problems with capacity, but until the deficit is reduced we will simply have to make do.
