Just a simple comparison (these numbers are moving all the time so no absolutes here)…
But certainly in original plans, HS2 aiming for 18 passenger trains per HOUR, whereas from what I can tell from online the Turin Lyon tunnel is only planning for 22 passenger trains per DAY.

Very sorry to hear @samfr.bsky.social
It was interesting that this morning walking to office in places it was ok to walk until facing an all asphalt pavement. I seriously doubt anyone putting it in thought about how treacherous the surface is when it’s cold and damp.

An LTN in Islington will generate 1.4 million extra driven miles each year. Except that it's a non-story. Plus, I get to dig out an old thread because it's not the first time people have tried this "analysis".

It’s better to follow the London model planned of charging through the dock. The only downside to this is cost so hopefully they can make it all scalable but otherwise it solves charging and tidiness

I’m always intrigued what solution should be, as just relying on central Gov to step in when failure occurs doesn’t seem efficient. My hunch is Network Rail has the answer as, in the main, they get funding to renew pre failure. But councils can only ask for this ad hoc? Or it’s there but underused?
