    Whilst this is partly true - for instance Crossrail / Elizabeth line was debated when I was a teenager, and only completed when I was the other side of 50, this also happen with #motorways / highways - there is no #motorway in the whole of #Suffolk and any plans to expand the A14 highway or deal with the bottleneck of the Orwell Bridge in #Ipswich get regularly rejected - its not even "value for the taxpayer" but also a suprising consensus of rich #NIMBY types who live in the rural areas and #Green activists who are unsurprisingly opposed to more road building - they do have a point as I can remember #M25 being built and soon getting gridlocked - but Suffolk does need *something* to cope with peak time traffic to/from the busy port at #Felixstowe

    Not sure what you would have seen on the video, but the #Litchfield #Canal project is fascinating. Back when a new #motorway was built round #Birmingham the builder was forced to provide an #aqueduct in anticipation of the #volunteers #raisingfunds to rebuild the canal. It sits in mid-air to this day. I drive under it regularly. Read more at:

  4. From #WalkaboutWithRob YouTube channel, an epic all day walk, passing #Pimpama, #Coomera and other #GoldCoast suburbs:

    My biggest takes: the awful M1 #motorway noise and the lack of footpaths on so many roads. There are 4 bridges over the Coomera River one next to another. 12 car lanes total. Only one of them has a footpath. Only on one side.
