On a day when The Railway Chronicle saw first hand some of Crossrail's work at Bond Street, (more on this visit at another time) other infrastructure news also features today.
The continuing wet weather is leading to landslips in East Sussex; Bradford doesn't want HS2: Liverpool does; the Lincolnshire Echo reports on MPs who say a £2.1 million spend on improvements is worth every penny; and Lord Adonis advises caution with an offer from China to fund HS2.
Coventry and Nuneaton folk would rather like some action on a proposed scheme to help them get about better...and Eurostar have made it easier for you to get about better ...to Germany, if you so wish!
The US will take some convincing on the merits of high speed rail, according to the august Wall Street Journal....
..and speaking of convincing, Crossrail officials will need convincing of Bombardier's ability to complete any contract (if winning a bid, of course), especially since Bombardier was not able to complete a signalling contract for TfL, and withdrew from said contract...
