The proposals for railway expansion put forward by the Liberal Dozycrats are eminently sensible. We just cannot go on building more roads to be filled by more vehicles. Yes, we should build roads to deal with the worst bottlenecks, but our future transport policy has to be a judicious mix of improving roads and a step-change in public transport. The road transport lobby has been too powerful for far too long. Cities and towns have had their character destroyed by express-ways, ring roads and multi-storey car parks.
