Bonzo77 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 But the realty is that the population is growing and a larger population needs more infrastructure, loosing some of the countryside is the price for increasing the population. Rubbish. Last time I used the train to London, it was empty! ---------- Post added 04-06-2015 at 18:28 ---------- What does "large proportion of the countyside" actually mean? Inaccurate ,alarmist and emotive comments do not help arguments. To support your argument you might want to read this for a start.

loraward Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Rubbish. Last time I used the train to London, it was empty! ---------- Post added 04-06-2015 at 18:28 ---------- I've read it already. Some times the roads I drive on are virtually empty, then at other times they are congested, I would imagine the same applies to trains with more people using them at certain times of the day. Record numbers of people use the train as 1.3BILLION trips made in just 12 months The Office of Rail *Regulation said the number of trips by rail had more than doubled since 1995/96.

willman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I live in a village who are protesting about HS2. A village that was once hewn from natural countryside to form 3 railways and a canal, a village that grew through bulldozing the natural beauty with coal mines. What a surprise that the people who prospered at the time now want to stop HS2 going past 1/2 mile away. I'd rather have HS2 if it stopped the blinding townies coming over here and tearing up the the place on mountain bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they are as accurate as say, the Election ones that must be true. As comic Rich Hall once said "...people who aren't savvy enough to take a wide birth when they see someone approaching with a clipboard don't have an opinion that counts...."

Rich hall is quite funny. ---------- Post added 05-06-2015 at 09:28 ---------- What about the majority that voted the conservatives in? Guess they're wrong too? They may be right they may not be. Based on the previous five years they probably were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
