Rob666 No, the idea is we all stop using cars (except the very rich) and stop moving about. Work from home, get everything we need delivered and only go out in our local area for exercise.
So why are they still building the great white elephant HS2, which is a monster compared to that small white elephant the Billenium Dome, that they gave away for a £1 a few years later, after it had stood empty. Sheer financial wizardry of a project, by the New Labour government at the time. 23 years on politicians probably hope we have forgotten.
I always predicted HS2 would end up costing 200 billion, although they say 100 billion now as they are not doing half the project. Even so I think that 100bn bill is set to go up and up. When the first half completes (probably in 2040), who exactly is really going to need to use it.
At one time we almost had a 3 billion garden bridge…good bye bridge, hello garden….I haven’t forgotten that one either.
