Extending the Central to W Ruislip rather than to Ickenham Hillingdon & Uxbridge is a historic example of cheapest option thinking. That is simply not true, believe me. Possibly a subject for a fresh thread. |

I wouldn't say thats strictly true of Beeching; he did recommend the development and upgrade of trunk routes after all; its worth speculating that might have implied raising speed limits and electrification. Course this didn't fit into other's plans! But the irony of still having a large mileage of intercity services using deisel shouldn't be ignored.  |
