Does anyone take the Tories seriously anymore with anything related to
public transport? They've proven time and time again they simply don't
have a clue. If they could get away with it they'd probably get rid of
all public transport and spend the money on road widening schemes (and
if it could plough stright through a historic or scientific interest
site in the process so much the better)


I wouldn't want to jump to any conclusions or owt, but I'm detecting perhaps
a very slight anti-Tory bias in this post.

I thought I was stating more or less a fact given how they trashed the
railways and london buses by privatising them and starved the tube of
investment. Meanwhile on the roads it was bypasses aplenty - blank
cheques for Mr Laing and Mr Murphy. If thats bias on my part then so
be it.
