Sadiq Khan sostiene Crossrail 2 Revival per creare “decine di migliaia di case”

Meanwhile, in the frozen North, any kind of new rail is unobtainable.

Respectfully, until the north of England receives at least a tenth of London’s investment in rail, bus, and tram infrastructure, change is needed. I propose a law: for every pound spent in London, two should be invested outside it. London boasts extensive, well-funded transport; the North has more people but far less infrastructure, hindering economic growth and perpetuating the damage caused by deindustrialization and neoliberal policies—thanks, Iron Lady, for that rust.

Not forever, but we need trams in Leeds, efficient links between Manchester and Leeds, and upgrades to Leeds Central Station as an integrated transport hub. HS2 should extend nationwide. Planning laws must be reformed to facilitate infrastructure development. We also need to end combined sewerage and drainage issues—CFOS—and build functional infrastructure. I understand it’s hard for Londoners to grasp the North’s needs, but we matter. I don’t want to resort to insults, but my frustration runs deep.

Meanwhile basically all of Oxfordshire is a rail desert. I’m almost an hours drive from my nearest station.

The north south cross rail would do wonders for south London which is lacking in tube lines and stations besides national rail.
