Hi Simon,
How likely is the rail part of this likely to happen when the government can’t even electrify the last mile to our docks, confirm the Ely upgrade will go ahead or commit to East West Rail. What chance have we got while the government and the treasury are anti rail. Sad but true.
It must make it very difficult reporting on the railways in an upbeat manner.
Best wishes.
