If we buy a new railway from the Chinese, is it very different to buying our cheese from Ireland or our wine from France?

Do we not have the knowledge/manpower to build a railway? You should only import what you can't source locally. Then again, we import coal and have huge reserves here.:rolleyes:

When it comes to High Speed Rail...The Chinese have it nailed.

We are WAY behind their tech.!

You may be right, we probably still employ wheeltappers that have been happily tapping the wheels for decades with no idea why they are tapping them :rolleyes:

Waste of money in my opinion. How some people think 5.25bn pounds per minute of travel time saved between London and Birmingham is a good idea, I'll never understand. It's ridiculous. And all at a whopping cost of £106bn. And if cross rail is anything to go by, then this figure could be doubled or even tripled.

Unusually, Dominic Cummings was overruled by Boris on this issue. I suppose Boris needed the voters of the North on side and Cummings, well. He was right.

Who'd want to go North anyway, it's further than Watford......No thanks, no ticket to ride for me.
