The government has cut £1bn from the rail infrastructure budget following the chancellor's Spending Review.

Rishi Sunak had previously promised record infrastructure investment as part of the government's "levelling up" agenda.

Until now, Network Rail's "enhancement" budget for the five year period from 2019-24 had been set at £10.4bn.

But, this week rail minister Chris Heaton-Harris said that the budget would now be £9.4bn.

That has put a question mark over some long-planned improvements to rail infrastructure.

The BBC has contacted the government for comment.

 

Considering that most rail money was spent in London and South this will be interesting.

The North has only got rid of the crap tracers trains this weeks.

Few people seem to be training to London.

How long will this continue???

 

I was in Guildford yesterday. The multistorey car park in Farnham road, next to the station was at about 20% full. No fucker is going on the train to the Smoke.

Good. No one ever should.

Covid: London likely to move to tier 3 amid rising rates

Good job we had the “lockdown now to save us from stricter restrictions later” in November. Although...

We were tier 1 before the latest lockdown. It was so effective we came out of lockdown into tier 2. Now we are probably moving to tier 3 for the Christmas break.

If they carry on like this people may just start to notice that all the government edicts seem to make things worse not better.

Statement in the Commons this afternoon. Talk of London lockdown as soon as, um, today.

London could be put into Tier 3 TODAY: MPs are told coronavirus cases in the capital and the Home Counties are 'off the chart' with West End theatres ordered to shut from TOMORROW, as Matt Hancock prepares to update Commons this afternoon

They won't bottle it.

My detailed analysis. Havering, shithole. Redbridge, shithole. Waltham Forest, shithole. They're all north of the river outer London shitholes. Shut all southbound exits on the North Circular. Militarise the river Lea. No-one can cross. Anyone shot dead attempting to do so is classed as covid at the morgue. Everyone else can go about their lawful business including getting pissed up in the pubs.

Havering and the north of Waltham forest were dead posh.  Ilford, up near valentines park, very large houses, very posh.  I wonder what happened?

Just wait until the 3rd wave. And then the 4th wave, and then the 5th wave

Although I reckon that after the 3rd they will change the wording in order to keep the proles compliant. It will be a 'ripple' or 'eddy current' or some other bullshit

New restrictions in London will come into place from 12.01am on Wednesday.

Parts of Hertfordshire and Essex will also be moved into the toughest tier.

The new restrictions will see all pubs and restaurants close except for takeaways.

However, schools will remain open until the end of the term on Thursday.

Might go out for some substantial meals tomorrow night.

Commiserations to all of those affected.

[Popuplights]

Londoners need to get out on the streets. The Government is out of control.

[Chewing Grass]

I'm surprised by that as surely all that matters id bodies in beds which are 1/4 of what they were.

Mr Hancock said there was "nothing to suggest" it caused worse disease or that vaccines would no longer work.

What a stupid ignorant statement.

Vaccines are specifically designed to work against one variant.

Whether they work against another is pot luck.

The worst case is that a vaccine designed for one variant actually makes infection from another variant more severe.

 

In some viruses, if a person harbors a non-neutralizing antibody to the virus, a subsequent infection by the virus can cause that person to elicit a more severe reaction to the virus due to the presence of the non-neutralizing antibody.  This is not true for all viruses, only particular ones.  This is called Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE), and is a common problem with Dengue Virus, Ebola Virus, HIV, RSV, and the family of coronaviruses.  In fact, this problem of ADE is a major reason why many previous vaccine trials for other coronaviruses failed. Major safety concerns were observed in animal models. If ADE occurs in an individual, their response to the virus can be worse than their response if they had never developed an antibody in the first place.

"Nothing to suggest" = we don't have a clue but are hoping that it will be ok

 

How reassuring.

 

Quick, give your mate another £100m contract for PPE.

They will. Gurt Clodney and Felching Barton might take this shit, but London won't.

Suburbia unaffected! Fantastic!

We can all go skiing after all.

That wasn't very popular when they tried it at Grenfell.

Tour guides still talk about the Great Fire though. Perhaps it would drum up tourism in the long term.

Swings and roundabouts.

Ok.  Best to assume the opposite then.

In related news, I think I'll stockpile some food.
