Re: Wales HS2 funding Petition
The report I seen on the news stated North Wales were having itOriginally posted by Rjk View Postno, we are being conned out of billions of pounds that we are owed that we could spend on rail infrastructure
Not that I’ve got any interest in the poxy rail service
Too expensive, never on time, dirty stock

Re: Wales HS2 funding Petition
So you're complaining about how poor our rail service is but when offered a potential solution to get the funding we need to improve it you've no interest?Originally posted by BLUETIT View PostThe report I seen on the news stated North Wales were having it

Great stuff.
Wales is owed about £5bn in consequential spending from HS2. The electrification of the north Wales line would cost about £1bn (if it happens), so what about the other £4bn? Scotland and Northern Ireland got their money, why shouldn't we?

Re: Wales HS2 funding Petition
they mentioned North Wales as one of the potential recipients of the money they will "save" by not extending the HS2 to Manchester. there is no guarantee that any of the projects they mentioned they will get anything though - they were all examples of what it could be spent on.Originally posted by BLUETIT View PostThe report I seen on the news stated North Wales were having it

and that isn't what this is about either. the government are still spending a LOT on the HS2 as far as Birmingham, and Wales aren't getting any of it
Scotland and Northern Ireland have been given a share of the money spent to spend on their own infrastructure, but they've designated the project as an England and Wales project, so we don't get any investment, despite not a single metre if track going anywhere near Wales.
people should be up in arms about this.

Welsh Government: Taxpayers 'let down' after Wales failed to spend £150m The money was lost by the government due to "poor account management" according to a Senedd Committee
The Welsh Government wasted £144m on M4 relief road - MORE than £80 million of Welsh taxpayer's money was spent on drawing up proposals for the scrapped M4 relief road, while £10.72 million was used to buy land where the road would have been built
Senedd: 36 more Welsh Parliament members could cost extra £18m per year

Re: Wales HS2 funding Petition
Be careful what you may have started. From what I have read on here recently a couple of minutes extra journey time can get some people quite agitated!Originally posted by BLUETIT View PostYes, they demolished one of the Inns we used to visit because of it !!!!
All for a couple of minutes

Drippy would use it to lower toilet heights in Wales or some other daft idea!Originally posted by Rjk View Postno, we are being conned out of billions of pounds that we are owed that we could spend on rail infrastructure
If you get a child that's useless with money, you stop giving it to them anymore.
Anyway, Wales finishes at Cardiff anyway why waste more money further west?
