Cars are greener than trains? Did he really say that?? Excuse me whilst I choke on the fumes from that Electric Train that just went past with 3oo people on board!!

The only reason that the railways are costing so much money to run at the moment is because of the chronic lack of investment in the preceeding 25 years and more. Its a huge game of "catch up". Of course we could always rip up the tracks, put down tarmac in its place and make them into a huge network of Bus/Lorry Lanes. Or am I missing something here.........?
