Could building new train stations help get Britain back on track?

  Nothing will get any better as long as railroads and trains are in private hands. Re-nationalisation is the only way.

    The railways are nationalised. The trains will remain privately owned.

    Will I have to sell my kidneys to afford the travel?

  I’m so happy with the Northumberland line (although I wish it extended further north). So yes, absolutely.

  We need proper infrastructure. Rail, bike lanes, road improvements, energy grid improvements, more reservoirs. Everything that has been left to crumble.

  It’s ruinously expensive, and they government will (and is!) taking flak for spending, but it’s even more expensive to do nothing.
