Are Westminster not in overall control of Network Rail?

 

You do know how the railways are structured? Scottish Government only award the contract to the private company running the, well, running stock. All transport policies implemented by Westminster though.

 

I'm going to give you an i8 sexist analogy here:

It's like a woman coming home from a Tupperware party after spending 10 quid. Husband comes back from an all day sesh at pub and bookies and spent ?400. He then proceeds to leather the shite out of her.

Correct on Network Rail. But overall rail policy is down to Scotland's government. They hold the hand over the contract and can penalise the operating company. Equally, they gave the tender to the current operator. So they actually have a lot of control here.

Is this the first time in history that a supplier might not fulfilled the contract?

 

Have you ever priced a measured term contract for any public body?

Aged and insufficient volumes of rolling stock are not Network Rail's problem but, since you have highlighted that Organisation, perhaps you could devote some of your browsing time to give us a comparison of rail infrastructure spending in Scotland and compare that with the rest of the U.K.

Not really, I only get the train for the odd Hearts game away. I'm more interested in the road network.

 

Hamzan and the SNP have done more in 10 years to upgrade the motorway network than Michael Forsyth and the Labour Party have done in 60 years.

 

And I think I can say that for most motorists.

Do you mean the 60 years that brought us the M8, M9, M74, M77, M80 and M90? The Sixty years that brought us the A9, A737, and virtually ever dual-carriageway in Scotland. Let's not forget bridges like Forth, Erskine, Kessock and Skye. A tunnel under the Clyde.

 

If roads are you concern, you can maybe explain why large parts of it look like the wrong end of an artillery range. If it's easier, confine yourself to the trunk network which is a Scottish Government responsibility.

 

You really should go and look at the rail expenditure but you won't as it doesn't chime with your agenda.

And the M74 is actually a dual road with the A74, it changes at the Fenwick junction.

Fenwick is M77.

 

M74 stays as motorway all the way to the border before it changes to M6.

And yet the A1 is still a shambles. SNP seem to be doing a lot in and around Glasgow and also up the A9 but from Edinburgh south there appears no plans for upgrading.

[elvoys]

She might lose votes within the Muslim community, because the Ahmadiyya Mosque and community she visited yesterday is reviled and persecuted by many fellow Muslims as being a heretical sect within Islam.

Many Muslim's will be a tad bit upset that Nicola Sturgeon has showed support for what many Muslim's see as blasphemers.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-38196904

"The launch of their 'True Islam' campaign is an important educational tool to increase awareness and understanding of the religion. By doing so, it will help combat the fears and prejudices that foster hatred."

 

The above sentence, well IMO will go down like a lead brick with many Muslim's. Naive in the extreme.

They are the good guys. They renounce (the founding doctrine) Jihad. If they were 94% of the religion and not 0.04 we wouldn't have a world where the religion in its current 7th cent revivalist form is ripping apart countries. The mainstream are the ones that need to ask themselves why they have a problem with a sect committed to peace.

 

Having said that, I struggle to sympathise with any non believing female politician playing nice for a photo op when they have clearly not thought thru the symbolism of what they wear.

[jambos are go!]

Let me make a non partisan point. For the last 50 years, including time in the Scottish Government and its succesors I have been aware of speculation that West of Scotland needs and interests will prevent a major road like a motorway or the like being built from Edinburgh to join up directly with the major road network south of the border. I hve also heard the counter argument that the volume of traffic does

Not warrant it. Make up your own minds I'm only saying.

I heard the excuse was "you got the better railway, they get the mororway".

 

Arguably, the roads in the west link to roads between Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham etc. However, for completeness expanding the M1 north makes a lot of sense.

So?

[Thunderstruck]

So?

More people = greater need for transportation, schools, hospitals, etc. Governments need to prioritise spending and did you not say that was where most of the voters were to be found.

 

That is why Greater Glasgow gets a large proportion of public spending. A motorway between Aberdeen and Inverness might be nice to have but it would have no economic justification if it meant Glasgow to Port Glasgow had an "A" Road.

 

It's the same reason that London and the SE hoovers up a lot of English expenditure.

There are no centres of population as large as Edinburgh and Newcastle in the UK (and I doubt many if any in Western Europe) that have such poor road links.

 

The next worst example in the UK of two major centres of population with inadequate road links is probably Edinburgh and Glasgow.
