Against, it will do nothing for my area at all it will still take hours to get here with traffic jams and road works, and all those homes being bulldozed, A lot of money for something to make the lives of a few easier by 30 minutes, A scar on the landscape.

Spend the money on existing rail links, we have a really popular branch line here and it has 2 carriages on it , most of the time spent standing up crammed in like sardines, old dirty smelly rolling stock,  but we don't count as we don't live in a city.  It costs £9 return to travel the 44 miles to the nearest city, which is brilliant as the car parking is £10 for the day. I would use it a lot more if it was more pleasant to use.

 

As you can tell I feel strongly about this.
