This is why I think that electrification to Cardiff and Chester is clever, if the WAG want new powers then they can have the new responsibility of paying for things too.
My home town has a very vociferous "we need a bypass brigade" led by the local (Tory) AM who think jobs and prosperity will magically follow a bypass being built. The towns traffic is at its worse at 0905 and 1545 with mums on the school run and will still be there if a bypass is built. The 3 mile single carriageway scheme has been costed at £69 million. The wires to Swansea is being talked about as being £70 million. I'll happily see the bypass ditched for the Swansea to be wired.
