        @bbcbreaking @bbcwestcott This was the best option. Sadly the U.K no longer has the ability or will to do large scale projects.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCwestcott That's a great shame. It's the obvious solution and allows almost infinite future expansion.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews @BBCwestcott This is a solution for London not the UK. Perhaps expand Manc/B'ham? HS2 will supposedly do the rest.
