North Wales metro on the back of an envelope
The Daily Post carries news of Labour's big idea for North Wales. They have published a map illustrating how an integrated transport system can benefit the region.
Labour's plans are said to include park and ride services, new train stations, modern trains, more reliable buses, transport “hubs” and a “safe and resilient road network”. And yet the map itself looks like it was drawn up on the back of an envelope, joining existing stations together with a red line and missing out North West Wales altogether.
If anything was designed to illustrate how out of touch Labour are with North Wales then it is this half-baked proposal with no budget and no timetable.
