STOP PRESS:
Not Really Suprising....
Another Railway Stitch-Up
Looks like the Department for Transport is planning to give train companies a financial incentive to cut train
services. This unsurprising development could obviously be really bad news.
The proposal is in The Future of Rail Franchising document which
isn't even a formal consultation, because it's said to be only of 'technical
interest' to the industry. The Government appears to be trying to sneak through
this change without giving passengers - or anyone - a chance to comment.

Don't believe the (anti) hype. Not that Cambridge Residents Believe it Anyway: Results of an Online Poll Conducted by the Cambridge Evening News Last November
The UK has virtually no wind turbine manufacturing capacity and what we do have
is possibly shutting down. 600 jobs are going in Newport, Isle of Wight, at Vestas,
the largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world.
