I'm so done with all these delays... 45 billion quid is a lot of dosh, but if it means we finally get some decent trains up north, I'm all for it . The Bradford station is a good move, though - that place is like the last stop on the bus . It's crazy they're starting major work in the 2030s... what's taking so long?! The economic case is clear, but we need some concrete timelines and investment plans to make this thing happen . Can't wait for a reliable train service that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out !
I'm not sure if this £45 billion plan is gonna be enough to get the Northern Powerhouse Rail off the ground . I mean, it's been stuck in development hell for so long, what makes this one different? They're still talking about a major overhaul in the 2030s... that's ages away from when people actually need a decent train service. We've had enough of broken promises and missed deadlines - it's time to see some real action on the tracks . Can't say I'm entirely optimistic about this one just yet, but at least they're trying...
