the greatest white elephant of all?



This insane government is wasting £92.5 million (of OUR money) on a totally impracticable solution to transport needs in the Cambridge-Huntingdon RAIL corridor. This is simply politics, there is no economic sense behind it at all. This government is committed to slowing this country down to a crawl, probably in the hope of collecting more petrol taxes from idling cars and lorries! They also are anti-tram and a successful interurban tramway or railway does not set them (just everyone else) a good precedent.

So the excellent and essential rail route between Cambridge and St Ives is being ripped up (however temporarily) to be replaced with MORE concrete. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so wasteful. They don't have a clue.

All forward thinkers should support CAST.IRON who are locally based and really know what they're doing. And sign the petition to stop this idiocy in its tracks! No 10's server is down (what a surprise) so I can't give a link!
