Who mentioned freight?


So if it wouldn't be electrified for passengers or freight, then what other
reason would there be? Electrocuting wildlife?


Who said it wouldn't be electrified for passengers?


You did:

"The North Downs route wouldn't be electrified for the benefit of commuters"

Or are you playing one of your silly nitpick games where you're going to say
that commuters are a specific type of passenger and you're actually referring
to passengers who arn't commuters? Whoever they may be. Trainspotters perhaps
or people going for a holiday in Reading.
