This from today's Independent...
The Department for Transport spent "between £300,000 and £400,000 last year" on mothballed facilities for the aborted Regional Eurostar project that would have provided a direct link between provincial cities and the Continent.
An industry 'cost' that evidently slipped below McNulty's radar.
Perhaps just as well that his Value for Money study didn't delve too deeply into our very own Department for Transfer.
This from a soggy Nottinghamshire reader...
Passengers boarding yesterday's 12:15 St Pancras to Nottingham all got drenched as the wind and rain combined - it really was dreadful.
And as the picture below shows the platform was transformed into a giant skating rink - putting the life and limbs of passengers and staff alike at risk.
Perhaps London and Continental should pay more attention to station canopy design and domestic passenger comfort rather than champagne bars and whizzy retail outlets...
Good news for fans of vomit inducing modern art.
According to today's Indpenedent the "artist" who created the kitsch lovers statue for St Pancras International has also designed a new frieze to wrap around the base of the monstrosity.
As this piece of crap appears designed to offend just about everyone perhaps London & Continental should complete the job by renaming the station Agincourt International.
