Findlay Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The Pennines provides shelter for us from Atlantic extremes and drops on Manchester as you can tell when you go over the top of the M62. The mass of water provides our reservoirs as well as the source of the River Don which flows through Sheffield and Easterly to Doncaster which is proving a problem. Any engineering on the hills could also involve new reservoirs which can also double as power stations for rail electrification. Like France and the UK, we could make it a race against Manchester who could tunnel faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are obviously using yet another topic to push your anti-government argument, maybe I really should put you on ignore, but that would deprive me of a bit of entertainment. What do you need proving. that it's expensive ? that other countries have not let cost hold them back ? That the economy is in a terrible state ? That other countries tackle far bigger projects ? If you can't see all those for yourself, try googling. I am not in a court of law and don't have a need to prove anything to you or anyone else. That's just looking for an outlet from the argument.

We are not in a court of law, true, but you are making some pretty big claims, and refusing to explain them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are already making massive, probably fatal environmental changes as we speak. It doesn't seem to put other countries off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
