Crossrail Piccies

Northerners often underestimate the scale of London. The area inside the m25 orbit is 1100 square miles.

During the working week it is esimated the population inside this area is over 20 million.

Hooking up Leeds with Manchester will accelerate the growth of Manchester but what will it do for Leeds and Sheffield? - cities in the wrong location?

Should be investing in both, I'm in favour of big infrastructure projects. Should have high speed rail across the whole country, better broadband everywhere etc. Some areas still only get 1MB for instance.
 
And for people that don't live in cities? Completely unaffordable, broadband into your home is much better and a lot more secure.
No wi-fi the whole country - all 600 x 200 miles of it. Like a grid. And have it as a public service. One investment saves everyone hundreds of pounds a year and ends the digital divide

And how much is that going to cost to setup and maintain? What if it gets vandalised, people sit around waiting for it to be fixed? What about security? Never going to happen.
