    I should think they are looking for ways to put in extra platfroms! The Dft should be reopening more lines and reconnecting communities to the rail system. Eg: Matlock to Buxton via Bakewell. Sidmouth and Budliegh Salterton. Ilfracombe, Bude, Padstow. Aberdeen to Peterhead and Callander. Also to Ballater station for the Royal Family and public.

    Still 12 years away for a City to City link. Probably half a dozen years for regulär Services from Old Oak Common to Birmingham Curzon Street.
