[BBC News] Network Rail says “All bets off for £38bn rail plan”
[WTF] So… we’re going to spend £50 billion on getting from London to Birmingham 20 minutes faster, instead of £38 billion to bring pretty much every other line and station in the country out of the golden age of steam? Tell y’what, if you throw in a high-speed line from Heathrow to Gatwick as a technology tester you can keep the change.
