Re: the railways
 

Pray tell me why your beloved Labour government let the railways get in this state in the first place, they had the chance to put it right if it wasn't fit for purpose, didn't hear ya shouting much back then, numpty:rolleyes:

Re: the railways
 

If you look at railway history - Dr Beeching savaged the railway system into a third of what it was under the direction of McMillan's tory government.

No doubt some 'pruning' was neccessary, but now the wisdom of doing it so savagely it is in doubt.

It looks like Dr Beeching was too hasty after all - Telegraph

"Ernest Marples, Harold Macmillan’s minister of transport, a businessman with rather too many fingers in an ever-meatier road construction pie,"

..also - Beeching had financial interests in a major road haulage company

PS just another illustration of a decision based on personal greed.

Re: the railways
 

Beeching as i have said before many times was "BIG" in road haulage, so was a perfect choice to decimate our Railway System. FACT, Something i have never once seen our resident Tories comment on.:rolleyes:

Re: the railways
 

read this carefully they even lied then cecil parkinson played a flanker Channel Tunnel: Road and Rail Links (Hansard, 2 May 1990) if beeching got stopped all our infrastructure would be in place.we would have saved billions.

Re: the railways
 

As was pointed out to me today at the cricket match, Someone i forgot to mention in the "Rape" of our railway system besides Beeching was the bigger sleazebag Mr Ernest Marples, Financial Scandal, Corruption and Censorship: Part 3 | EcoLogics another un not one of our Tory lap dogs mention. Perhaps its a form of Alzheimers?:rolleyes:

Re: the railways

Re: the railways
