Reopening the closed lines and stations would relieve the burden on the road network. What's more it would probably cost less to do than the waste of time and money that is HS2

choo-choo's is through Brezit i am led to believe as if we stay in Europe you will not be allowed to RE-nationalize. |

Put Corbyn in office and the responsibility of his position will make him rethink ever policy that he ever held that was out of step with the centre.
Such as Brexit for instance, where he did an immediate about turn when the chips were down He'll nationalise nothing if he were to win the general election. |
