Anyone remember the promise of a giant tunnel a few years ago?

 

What a barrel of laughs that one was.

Is it coincidence that when the governments have political problems with the north they instigate a public consultation about cross pennine transport?

This problem has been discussed for the past 45 years  with very little outcome .

The same old arguments will be recirculated before being allowed to peter and put into an archive with all the rest of the often repeated information .

You're right.  I think flying cars will be the norm before this road is ever upgraded.

Correct, the last remaining red bastions are not going to get national investment in regional traffic issues. Especially now Andy Burnham is stepping up to be the 'King of the North' in his resistance to 10 Downing Street.

There won't be any money left to build it.

I think it's already been spent (in London)

The whole scheme is an embarrassment, it's not solving anything.

 

How will that improve traffic heading up the A628 through Hollingworth or Tintwistle.

 

If they can't do it right first time, why even bother doing it at all
