Gibsons all for the development

Remind me not to meet you off the tube if we gan oot when me and paul move to london

Its a lot more than social responsibility, industry is getting royally fucked over and at the end of the day economics is all that matters.. you make it sound like your conscience... its real and within 5 years you'll probably be the only one on this board able to afford to drive

my routes are usually

london - york
london - leeds
york - leeds
york - manchester
york - newcastle

in the last month virgin have cancelled two trains on me from york - newcastle, leaving me over an hour late on both times.

also it is not always possible for me to book 3 days in advance. though obviously if i can, i do. i spend probably a full working day on trains each week, i have become very bitter towards them.

he's been after it since the start, he got pretty pissed of with the tdc!

Says there the £70million pound college will be started later this year aswell on the site so its all go for the colege hopefully it can land the casino.

i choose train travel as i can work whilst on the move, i could probably travel cheaper in a car, but hey i'd be at work for another 12 hours a week and that is certainly something i don't need.

i'm completely at the mercy of the train companies.

defo a step in the right direction

or maybe not... the 2005 act is still out to tender and its far from plain sailing.. from the british regeneration association..

we'll just have to see, something has to be done to middlehaven, its long overdue.

from what ive heard its not a casino that will attract the down and outs of the area, its more a night time entertainment venue to attract people from far and wide... still i dont know enough about it to really pass comment but its had a lot of support from certain areas... hopefully if it goes ahead it will be a boost to an area that really needs it.

Oh dear, that went WAY over your head didnt it

Not me who's in stupid mode

Actually i never thought of the fact that more people sharing means less cars on the road thus less traffic (in theroy)

Perhaps smog was right after all

but i still think its silly

That's the whole bloody point!

if he said it in binary you'd have got the point straight away

One of the problems is that unless you actually give up your car altogether, or you cover large distances on a regular basis, the saving in fuel alone is hardly anything to get excited about. If the other costs were more accurately related to the number of miles you covered then perhaps more people would think about car sharing. Paying out the best part of around £750 p.a. running costs

Now i'll have none of that!!!!

Allow me to explain myself...

While the THEROY is that less cars may equal less traffic, those who are solo are crammed into less space...so it could make it worse!!

bear in mind this is a motorway car pool lane, 10 journeys a week and say an average of 10 miles, thats £100 miles a week if the roads are clear, not to mention parking costs etc.

I don't know how much fuel costs at the minute but I'd have imagined thats quite a substantial saving?
