Even so, I still can't figure out why newcastle was so blessed when other
more deserving cities were not. God knows, Birmingham really needs a proper
underground system. If it was a city anywhere in northern or eastern europe
it would have public transport coming out of its ears.

Yeah, Brum does seem to have been left out, largely I guess because of
the existence of the Cross ****ty and New St tunnel.

Liverpool of course got Merseyrail, which had it been built even 5
years later I think wouldn't have been a TOC. It's just that at the
time BR was in favour - fast forward a couple of years and it no longer
was.
