Cambrige - London traffic up 75%
It was announced on today's BBC(East) TV news that train traffic from
Cambridge to London) is up 75% in ten years (or at least we were allowed to ASSUME it was train and not road, and NOT London to Cambridge. Some questions :- * WHY has this happened? Natural traffic growth? Special efforts made to promote growth? People in Cambridge getting jobs in Londom ? or Londoners moving to Cambridge, but keeping their London jobs? How much subsidy was involved? * Is this a good thing? Does it contribute to the general good? The London economy, and hence the whole country? The Cambridge economy? and hence the whole country? What INSTITUTIONS have benefitted from this? How have PEOPLE benefitted from this? Is it a good thing for people to travel more? The Greens would say NO. Is it a good thing for people to spend so much time travelling? or Could their time be better spent doing other things? Michael Bell -- |
