If all this is meant to be a reference to my use of the word nonsense - hard to tell as you don't quote any other post -
I deleted the rest of the quote, but I did read it.
Well Jimm, all I wrote was in context to what nuneatonmark quoted. I stepped in because when a someone new jumps into a thread (probably an old thread), probably never posted before in some cases, they quote some frustration and then get bullied on these forums by certain members, or at least told to take a run and jump or made fun of. I would like that to stop please.
In regards to the matter at hand in context of the actual details, it goes something like this for most.
A list of needed upgrades, remedial and new builds are proposed for a railway
But years pass without any of it starting. And lets concentrate on the word "Starting".
The Marston Vale line has a lot of level crossings. Bow Brickhill is quite far west up the line and it poses little obstacles to get done. Its an easy win. Why would something like that not be done already. Forget about infrastructure development times. Its something that could be fixed now. It would give more credence to the idea that things are moving, progress is being made and minds are more or less put to rest.
I am aware that the flyover at Bletchley is getting somewhat of an overhaul and that surveys are being carried out on bridges that haven't been used for a long time. But does it really take this long? Why isn't this on the EWR website?
Secondly, who does the public facing updates on telling newspapers, updating websites (last update 14th March on news), telling TV stations what is going on, and who is accountable, I suspect its the EWR lead? It is very strange to me that all railway projects seem to be in some kind of bubble when it comes to information. You need to be in the loop. The EWR website is useless, its so vague, it hasn't been updated and progress cannot be seen.
Even Network rail put videos on youtube. But none of them are regarding EWR in any shape or form.
Without a running commentary, facts and figures can easily be hidden. There needs to be accountability. Even this thread could be used by someone on the board. It wouldn't take 15 minutes of their time. But no, its secret.
And if nuneatonmark is frustrated, so am I. And we are not the only ones.
Personally I'd like to chat here about updates on the website. If of course it was updated on a bi weekly basis or something like that.
Most of this is paid for by tax payers or at least I'm led to believe.
