Lots of good points Glen. I for one thought today: if I had to ask Mr Blair a question, it would be "what are you going to do to encourage people to use trains rather than planes?" Because at the minute the answer is sod all. It's a joke. I went to Barcelona last year and was stunned by how cheap and efficient their urban train system was. It cost about 5 to get from the airport to the city centre. Try doing that in our green and pleasant land.
