Thanks for those links Ged.Very interesting indeed !

As a country-dweller, I couldn't survive in a city such as Liverpool,in fact I wonder how anyone can !The wealthier members of society who prefer to live in leafier surroundings will continue commuting and for this reason improved links to the Liverpool hinterland are essential and probavly more important than any inner-city project. Extentions to the Merseyrail electric network could result in thousands of cars being left in the garage,something that inner-city improvements would not provide.
