It's how it goes. They don't seem to realise in order to make money, it is required to spend money!

Again similar with the Wigan, Tyldesley & Eccles line, they complained it was going to cost 70% more to reinstate than the bus lane, yet installing the bus lane, cost over 70% more getting instated, it hasn't increased the use of buses and hasn't decreased the amount of congestion on the roads like they said it would, congestion has gotten far worse, regularly to levels that I normally only ever saw when there was a serious accident further up the road. Just like the Great Musgrave bridge incident, their own report stated that the bus lane was the worse possible option, have the highest negative impact on local roads and the least benefits to passengers, rail was the best, so obviously they went with the bus lane.

Anyway, I'll be flinging the Secretary of State for Transport a tweet to see if he can help getting rid of our worthless bus lane, as well as try getting the railway reinstated, along with anything else I can think of!
